An Easter Sunday chase was in order for today.  Even though Brian Stertz was in town today, he was unable to pull himself out of his Easter family obligations to chase with Ryan and I.  It was a day of positioning twice.  The original setup was in Central Illinois and then shifted southward as the day went on.  There were plenty of rotating wall clouds (1,2,3....) to choose today.  We finally got a brief tornado (picture #4) near Oblong, Illinois.
