Following the storm along the highway.
![]()
Wall cloud trying to form again.
![]()
Not quite enough energy.
![]()
Tornado? .... No, It's a scud, which
actually had a little shear to it. It didn't create a debris field on the
ground.
So, no...... no tornado this time.
![]()
Nice hail core in there.
![]()
Wall cloud forming on the new cell behind
me.
![]()
Oh.. and it's headed this way.

You can see the RFD (rear flank draft)
kicking up the dirt.
![]()
Wall cloud with a lowering. Still not a
tornado...

Now this is a hail core.. It's blue.
![]()
Very blue.

2.5" Hail blue...

Cmon.... Go already....

Had to escape the storm in the city of
Scottsbluff, NE.
![]()
Now further south east.
![]()
But it's still trying to get me.
![]()
Time to outrun it.
![]()
Ummm... this was impossible to
outrun..
Very high winds, the stop sign coming up was shaking so hard it actually blew
away.
(Got this on video, very cool)
![]()
Looking back.
![]()
It's dark in there.
![]()
Funnel?... No, not this time.
![]()
Oh no.. ummm... It's headed
this way and I have to wait 5 minutes for the train to go past.
![]()
Looking behind me.
![]()
go go go!!!!
![]()
After dinner, I chased the squall line.
![]()
Very active lightning.
![]()
VERY.

ACTIVE.
