June 19

Well, June 19 was certainly an interesting day. I caught a classic supercell near Hoxie, Kansas that tried everything it could to produce a tornado, and failed. Another storm developed on its flank and that became our new target storm. We were in front of this beast as it morphed into one of the most incredible HP supercells I have ever seen, pummeling us with 4" diameter hail, high winds and a couple of funnel clouds. I even had a bolt of lightning that struck 100 feet from me. Quite intense.

Today, June 20, I am off to Valentine,Nebraska for what could be a wild afternoon of severe weather.
