I have to say...that Sunday was the most frustrating and frightening I have experienced so far. When NWS requested spotter activation (I was living in Lexington, KY at the time) I cringed. The visibility factor sucked already because of the buildings,trees, and hills - but this also became a night chase as well. I knew that there weren't many people out spotting so I went ahead and stayed out until well after dark. I had to stop a lot on the way back to Lexington from the Louisville area because the storms were traveling at 60mph first, and slowed down to 50mph so I kept catching up to them. Embedded supercaells are creepy....there was a lot of hail, and the rain was so heavy It was like driving through a waterfall at times. I would take a Texas tornado over a system like that any day. Fortunately, there wasn't too much damage in KY, but that was a very sad day for so many people in so many places. I only got one or two pics before the sun set, but I haven't had them developed yet.
