Storm Chasing is primarily a game of being in the right place at the right time, as is most of life.
June 12th, 2013 was one of those days that seemed as if being in the big red highlighted circle was all that would be required to see a good storm. The Storm Prediction Center had Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana highlighted with a moderate risk for severe weather. The expectation for the day was believed to be an evolving squall line of damaging wind that would trek across the area after the initial supercells had merged together.
