Welcome to Kansas.


The cells are starting to pop up.


Getting larger.

Rotation present.


A little scary looking.


Nice structure shot here.


This looked amazing.


A semi passes by.


Great hail shaft.


A surprise about to happen.


LOOK, a punch cloud appearing within the supercell.


Never seen one before.


Especially in a storm like this.


Another truck.


Punch cloud taking over.

Now looking at the cell behind me.

Lightning strikes very constant. Looked amazing.


So active.


Rotating base / hail shaft.


Looking down a dark road.


It was an amazing day.
