The Setup
Describe the synoptic setup — what the models were showing, why you decided to chase, where you targeted, and what drew you to the play. Include SPC outlooks, surface boundaries, hodograph details — whatever level of depth you want.
Second paragraph of setup narrative. Mention your departure time and starting location.
The Chase
Describe the chase itself — storm initiation, your intercept, positioning decisions, what you observed. Write as much or as little as you want. The prose will reflow naturally.
Continue the narrative here. Note any close calls, positioning challenges, road networks, or other chasers you encountered.
The Storm
Describe the tornado — time on the ground, EF rating if known, appearance, motion, track. Include any damage survey information if available.
Wrap-up
Reflect on the day — what worked, what didn't, what surprised you. Add any post-storm thoughts, storm reports, or context from the SPC storm data.
