Live Blog – 9 June 2009 (2:36 pm) – IOP start

Alrighty…

We left the debrief to start LMA training and then right into a LMA IOP over the DC LMA.  We were paid a visit by OS&T chief Don Berchoff

We then did some CASA training until things startewd initiating in DDC, ICT and OUN CWAs.  The southern most storms (OUN CWA) struggled against the cap so we opted against a PAR IOP and stuck with a MRMS IOP for DDC and ICT.

We had problems with the AWIPS server (load issues) but eventually got going.  Unfortunately, it was too late to capture the tornado E of the KDDC radar that V2 was on.

As of 0035z (10 June), we are relocalizing from DDC to TSA as storms enter Osage Co.  OK.
