***2005 6-Day Tour Summaries***
In a year when May really lagged climatological averages, the first half of June more than made up for it - producing a seemingly endless barrage of tornado days from June 4 to June 15. The 6-day tours - operated primarily in June - took full advantage of Ma Nature's wrath: each of these trips was led by SLT partner Roger Hill, who did an outstanding job of leading our participants to the most prolific tornado producers time and again. Three out of four of the 6-day tours experienced photogenic tornadoes, and Tour 5 set an all-time SLT record for the most consecutive tornado days (days on which tornadoes were intercepted): 4. That - ladies and gentlemen - is incredible! Here are the most memorable days during the 2005 6-Day tours:
