In June 1956, 18-year-old David Hoadley borrowed his parents car in Bismarck, SD and set off to look for thunderstorms and tornadoes by himself, without computer forecast models, without cell phones, the internet, or even interstate highways. Today he announced the end of his stormchasing career.

Quick edit of a tornado NW of Matador, Texas, today. I made a poor repositioning decision earlier and was in catch-up mode the west side of it trying to get back in the lead.
