USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 12 May, 2010


I ask, what is the abbreviation for this team..  "SHI#"


We have debris.


Supercell in progress.


Cell is getting stronger.


Rotation above our head.


A core of 1" hail.


The cell is splitting, this section of the storm in now going in an anticyclonic motion.

Storm base is lowering.


Wall cloud randomly forming and collapsing.


A very scary looking scud cloud is forming.


This actually looks like a tornado, but poses ZERO threat, it did scare the locals though.


See.. Scary eh?, but completely harmless (unless there is a lightning strike)


George is concentrating on the road.


Wall cloud starting to form.


Storm is now tornado warned.


Nice angle down the road.


Rotating clouds above.


It's only 3:30pm and its dark.


Storm is still tornado warned.


Looking for any sign of a Tornado.

Lots of media following chasers.


There is a great interest in chasers.
