Planned route.

I figure around Amarillo or Tulsa I will start zigzagging. Any tips definitely appreciated.
Your plan route link, when clicked on, Google Maps said your CA-IN trip would take 1 day, 16 hours. WOW!

TX & OK panhandles where many form & then roll N, NE.

If you really want t see live ones, there are tour guides who take groups out almost daily in April & May. They have all the scanning equipment for weather channels and tornado spotters who report to US Weather Service & local police. They also listen in on the guys who have the special tornado cars who try and drive into tornadoes for research. On cable they have been on Nat Geo, The Weather Channel & a couple of other channels. I think the program is Storm Chasers.

Still a few houses in the neighborhood not rebuilt from the 2003 F5 that hit the neighborhood.
