USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 9th June 2011


Heading to the storms.


I actually spoke with this very nice Armish couple, and sheepishly asked them if they had a battery powered
"Noaa Weather Radio", they laughed, and said.. NO...
I carefully worded the possibility of severe storms and even an odd tornado forecast for their area.
They thanked me and drove on...  well rode on anyway...


Funnel ?  NO..


Heading back into Iowa... again..


I wonder how many state border crossings I have done on this trip.. It's got to be over 100.


Love the action/angled shot.


Watching this cell carefully.


Not looking good.


Funnel report submitted..  Weak.. but it's still a funnel.


All this action, and I still managed to backup 420gig of data.


Nice.


Another cell heading towards me.


There was 2.25" hail in this one.


I think we have a strong updraft.


I wonder who this could be?


I think it's safe to say it's "Reed Timmer".


Car is happily parked.
