On March 18, 2012 one of the first Plains storm chase opportunities of the year focused on the Texas panhandle into southwest Oklahoma. Several tornadoes would end up being spotted. For the rest of the week, a storm system slowly moved to the East Coast.

Note: When possible, we’ll do a wrap-up of tornado talk, videos and imagery from the week. For now, and potentially forever, we’ll try out Storify to create the weekly wrap-up. It may take a few seconds for it to load after the click.
