Nov 10th Cold Core Tornado Event

Mike Umscheid captured a tornado on Nov 10th in Southwest KS, this was a cold core event. To view his pictures and read about the anomaly then go to his blog! Mike: "I chased and photographed my first November tornado earlier this afternoon at around 3:30pm CST. This tornado was on the ground for ~ 7 to 10 minutes northwest of Johnson, KS about 3 to 4 miles or so. I photographed the tornado from Hwy 27 just a couple miles north of town. Below are two photos. The first is the supercell storm earlier on about 10 miles SSE of Manter, KS as it was entering Stanton County. The 2nd photo shows the tornado in its mature, large stage. It briefly took on a wedge shape appearance, as is shown. The immediate inflow air into this storm was ~ 53 degrees temperature over ~ 47 degree dewpoint. Incredible!! "

Nov 5th 2008 KS/OK Central Border

Skinner and I are hanging out at the hotels on tower road playing on the internet getting ready to meet dann cianca to head out to the plains! We also were testing out a cannon rebel I'm borrowing from a friend and took some pictures of rain bands coming through the front range, took me a while to get the shutter speeds down! I'm new at this photography stuff, im a videographer guy. Skinner still called me an idiot, then I punched him in the thigh. So on that note we have a long road to Kansas of drinking dew and listening to skinner crunch away at his marshmallow mateys.

Wed Nov 5th 2008

Getting ready and standing by for a possible chase on Wed. The way it looks right now we have strong shear environment and good moisture, but Instability and cloud cover is to be determined tomorrow. The target area as of now is North Central Oklahoma. Chasers will be myself, possibly John Skinner, and Dann Cianca, Dann will also bring a guest with him. If we go Tony Laubach and Mike Carlson volunteered as now casters, maybe even if they dont know it yet! Thanks guys! Verne, hopefully will see you out there!
Pretty exciting I must say if we can get a good chase in for November!
