Update, Sept 12

Things got pretty wild for me last week, on September 6th. I chased in south central Nebraska and intercepted 3 supercell storms. The first one had a nice wall cloud, but became outflow dominant quickly.

The second storm was quite explosive. It developed respectable mid level rotation, and also had a rather large, but elongated wall cloud. It did produce ping pong ball sized hail near Wilcox, Nebraska.

The third cell was the storm of the day. I was a tornado warned classic supercell with a 40 mile long inflow band, massive, rotating wall cloud and a cone funnel that extended halfway to the ground. This storm, structure wise, was probably the prettiest all year long! The electrification was second to none with constant intercloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes every half to one second! It also produced baseball sized hail northwest of Franklin, Nebraska.

Quite a fun chase!
