June 9th 2009

Today skinner made a great forecast, we waited around southeast of dodge city for a couple hours this afternoon. The cell of the day and tornado was exactly where we waited, however we left!!! an hour before it happened we got storm add and went to the cells near Wichita KS and then it happened. We saw an awesome cell, good striations and it almost tornadoed. It is good to see that I can have confidence in Skinners forecasting after today, and that he really can think ahead of the system. Production was with us today and it made another great segment.



Ok now I know alot of people are wondering well what about Colorado. We were not there... why do u ask? because it wasnt the best target. Yes it had a risk and a chance but we wanted to go with what would be the cell of the day...Dodge City, KS. When we left Colorado this morning we knew tornadoes were possible, if you dont believe me read my status on facebook from earlier this morning. Luckily it was just a funnel cloud, we take a lot of chances to get the best shot, so sometimes that means leaving the storms at home.
