TWISTEX Update #2 (June 5)

Status: Final Preparation for Deployment
Location: Terril, IA ~ Ames, IA

Final preparations have been done to the mesonet vehicles, tested all equipment and they are gassed up ready for the trip to SD tomorrow. ISU crew is meeting in the morning and departing at 5:30 am on the road to central SD. We will be there plenty early, but this is being done in order for us to go over everything with Tim and the rest of the crew. Expect initiation to hopefully occur by 7 PM tomorrow, the capping is quite a concern at the moment for all chasers. Despite this, there is a lot of chasers making quite a journey to the targets in SD/NE. With such an early departure it is time to head to bed for the night... I'll hopefully get an update on here for June 6th before I take off.

Thanks to Eric Kropf for the room tonight... Sleep time!
