Ran into "Storm Warriors" storm chasers setting up right off I 40 at Cadillac Ranch. This was not a real positive sign, since our weather radio had been going off all day with Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings.
Standing along Route 66 west of Amarillo, Texas, Cadillac Ranch was invented and built by a group of art-hippies imported from San Francisco. They called themselves The Ant Farm, and their silent partner was Amarillo billionaire Stanley Marsh 3. He wanted a piece of public art that would baffle the locals, and the hippies came up with a tribute to the evolution of the Cadillac tail fin. Ten Caddies were driven into one of Stanley Marsh 3's fields, then half-buried, nose-down, in the dirt (supposedly at the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Giza). They faced west in a line, from the 1949 Club Sedan to the 1963 Sedan de Ville, their tail fins held high for all to see on the empty Texas panhandle.
your also encouraged to bring your own spray paint.....

We had storm warnings all day, but nothing happened in Amarillo. The bad part of the storm moved east into Oklahoma and there were reports of tornados.
