May 23rd 2011 - Western OK- Hail Fest!

Getting ready to go Chase with Brad, Steph, Skinner and I
Me doing the timelapse of this funnel cloud really trying.

First funnel cloud gets pulled into the meso and a new one forms to its left.

Got this awesome picture of these horses as huge hail was falling, wore skinners helmet while I took this pic, feel bad for the horses but what a beautiful scene.

After stopping for gas we got a chance to take a look at the Softball hail we collected in our cooler

Full Screen it!!

(Tractor finally shows up, John Deer never looked so beautiful!)

(After getting pulled out we immediately went on the chase meeting up with Tornado Hunt from The Weather Channel, including Mike Bettes and Greg Forbes out in the field. Never see Greg out there awesome!)

(One of the best shots of the day, things were interesting but mostly outflowed and HP)

Full Screen it!

Thursday May 19th Kansas

Had a long night after chasing a nice Meso into this horrible farm road. We got stuck shown here 10 min before a tornado touched down on the other side of the trees we were behind. Destroyed our chase at the grand finale. We were here for 14 hours until we got pulled out of the mud by a tractor.

Backyard Chase?

Thinking about chasing Wyoming/Nebraska today but so far its looking pretty capped along with all this cloud cover. Not quite sure if something will fire but if it does then there is some decent shear today for something good.

Funnel Cloud - Broomfield, CO

Saw an impressive funnel cloud from a very organized storm over Broomfield, CO today, it had a nice clear slot, and was rotating for about 30 min, called in the report and the sirens followed. Was a fun day with every weather element (besides a tornado I suppose), in commerce city it delayed the National College Lacrosse Tourney and thousand people went into shelter in the stadium as this went over the field. Was talkin to Skinner as he was on I-25 watching these storms, and he saw some good rotation as well.

Beautiful Day in Colorado as Tornadoes and Supercells develop in Eastern Colorado. And the moon was very big.
