Hello, my perverted friend.

We've actually known each other for a while, at least I know you.
You can call me Big Brother or the All-Seeing Eye.
I'm a hacker who a few months ago gained access to your device, including your browser history and webcam.
I recorded some videos of you jerking off to highly controversial "adult" videos.
I doubt you'd want your family, coworkers, and your entire laubacht.rogerhillblog@blogger.com contact list to see footage of you pleasuring yourself,
especially considering how kinky your favorite "genre".
I will also publish these videos on porn sites, they will go viral and it will be physically impossible to remove them from the Internet.

How did I do this?
Because of your disregard for internet security, I easily managed to install a Trojan on your hard disk.
Thanks to this, I was able to access all the data on your device and control it remotely.
By infecting one device, I was able to gain access to all the other devices.

My spyware is embedded in the drivers and updates its signature every few hours, so no antivirus or firewall can ever detect it.
Now I want to offer a deal: a small amount of money in exchange for your former worry free life.

Transfer $1200 USD to my bitcoin wallet:1JEvR3g6o6AbBZLWm9bvdVyeWk3yC8Rs8w

As soon as I receive confirmation of the payment,
I will delete all the videos that compromise you, remove the virus from all your devices and you will never hear from me again.
It's a very small price for not destroying your reputation in the eyes of others, who think that you are a decent man, according to your messengers.
You can think of me as some sort of life coach who wants you to start appreciating what you have.

You have 48 hours. I will receive a notification as soon as you open this email, and from this moment, the countdown will begin.
If you've never dealt with cryptocurrency before, it's very easy. Simply type "cryptocurrency exchange" into a search engine, and then all set.

Here's what you shouldn't do:
- Don't reply to my email. It was sent from a temporary email account.
- Don't call the police.
Remember, I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I notice such activity, it will automatically lead to the publishing of all the videos.
- Don't try to reinstall your system or reset your device. First of all, I already have the videos,
and secondly, as I said, I have remote access to all your devices, and once I notice such an attempt, you know what happens.

Remember, crypto addresses are anonymous, so you won't be able to track down my wallet.

So long story short, let's resolve this situation with a benefit for me and you.
I always keep my word unless someone tries to trick me.

Lastly, a little advice for the future. Start taking your online security more seriously.
Change your passwords regularly and set up multi-factor authentication on all your accounts.

Best wishes.

I recorded you.

Hello there!

Unfortunately, there are some bad news for you.

Some time ago your device was infected with my private trojan, R.A.T (Remote Administration Tool), if you want to find out more about it simply use Google.

My trojan allowed me to access your files, accounts and your camera.

Check the sender of this email, I have sent it from your email account.

To make sure you read this email, you will receive it multiple times.

You truly enjoy checking out porn websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun.

I RECORDED YOU (through your camera) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces.

If you still doubt my serious intentions, it only takes couple mouse clicks to share the video of you with your friends, relatives, all email contacts, on social networks,
the darknet and to publish all your files.

All you need is $1700 USD in Вitсоin (ВТС) transfer to my account.

After the transaction is successful, I will proceed to delete everything.

Be sure, I keep my promises.

You can easily buy Вitсоin (ВТС) here:

https://cex.io/
https://nexo.com/
https://bitpay.com/
https://paybis.com/
https://invity.io/

Or simply google other exchanger.

After that send the Вitсоin (ВТС) directly to my wallet, or install the free software: Atomicwallet, or: Exodus wallet, then receive and send to mine.

My Вitсоin (ВТС) address is: 1MvogqA76t4o8Cya83SbPCGn52VRJsbiUV

Yes, that's how the address looks like, copy and paste my address, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).

You are given not more than 3 days after you have opened this email.

As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read.

Everything will be carried out based on fairness.

An advice from me, regularly change all your passwords to your accounts and update your device with newest security patches.

Pending for payment.

Greetings!
Have you seen lately my e-mail to you from an account of yours?
Yeah, that merely confirms that I have gained a complete access to device of yours.

Within the past several months, I was observing you.
Are you still surprised how could that happen? Frankly speaking, malware has infected your devices and it's coming from an adult website, which you used to visit.
Although all this stuff may seem unfamiliar to you, but let me try to explain that to you.

With aid of Trojan Viruses, I managed to gain full access to any PC or other types of devices.
That merely means that I can watch you whenever I want via your screen just by activating your camera as well as microphone, while you don't even know about that.
Moreover, I have also received access to entire contacts list as well as full correspondence of yours.

You may be wondering, "However, my PC is protected by a legitimate antivirus, so how could that happen? Why couldn't I get any alerts?"
To be honest, the reply is quite straightforward: malware of mine utilizes drivers, which update the signatures on 4-hourly basis,
which turns them to become untraceable, and hereby making your antivirus remain idle.

I have collected a video on the left screen where you enjoy wanking, while the video on the right screen shows the video you were watching at that point of time.
Still puzzled how much damage could that cause? One mouse click is enough for me to share this video to your social networks, as well as e-mail contacts of yours.
In addition, I am also able to gain access to all e-mail correspondence as well as messengers used by you.

Below are simple steps required for you to undertake in order to avoid that from occurring - transfer $1550 in Bitcoin equivalent to my wallet
(if you don't know how to complete that, just open your browser and make a google search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin wallet address (BTC Wallet) is: 1P28gw81epAv9RfjhaJikNjukboCrj8Lvn

Once the payment has been confirmed, I shall remove the video without delay, and that is end of story - afterwards you won't hear about me again for sure.
The time for you to perform the transaction is 2 days (48 hours).
After this e-mail is opened by you, I will get an automatic notice, which will start my timer.

Any effort to complain will not change anything at all, because this e-mail is simply untraceable, just like my bitcoin address.
I have been developing these plans for quite an extended period of time; so, don't expect any mistake from my side.

If, get to know that you tried to send this message to anyone else, I will distribute your video as described earlier.

Pending for payment.

My advɨce - keep changɨng all your pașșwordș on a frequent bașɨș

Your personal data has leaked due to suspected harmful activities.

Hi there!

I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your operating system.
Currently I have gained full access to your account.

In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months.
The thing is your computer was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had visited a website with porn content previously. ╭ ᑎ ╮

Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete access to your computer or any other device that you own.
It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as well as microphone at any point of time without your permission.
In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your emails and chat messages.

You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software.
Let me break it down for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based,
which refreshes its signatures on 4-hourly basis, hence your antivirus is unable to detect it presence.

I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side the scenes of you happily masturbating,
while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..ᵔ.ᵔ

All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and messenger contacts of people you are in communication with on your device or PC.
Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history.

I believe you would definitely want to avoid this from happening.
Here is what you need to do - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 950 USD to my Bitcoin account
(that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you don't know how to do that).

Below is my bitcoin account information (Bitcoin wallet): 1dEfpd1sjZTCkjhb9DD5gnzMiiQYoXZhE

Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all.
Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 50 hours (2 days +).
I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start.

Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes.
If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed with making your private videos public.

Good luck!

Waiting for the payment.

Hello!
Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?
Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.

For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.
Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you.

With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.
This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence.

You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent.

I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating.
Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.
I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1LrQJeowKsXbuPSJWVnVqz3Y79EftJSPt7

After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.
Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.

Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id.
I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above.

Fw2: How's it going? Your body will remain slim with this.

Update

Hello everyone,

Sorry I have been remiss this spring on updating my blog here. It has been a wild beyond belief spring! We have intercepted 31 tornadoes thus far, including 2 wedge torndoes on May 23nd near Quinter, Kansas; more tornadoes May 25, 26 and culminating with 9 on May 29th which included a large multivortex tornado that damaged Kearney, Nebraska and a mile wide wedge tornado that damaged Jewell, Kansas. June has seen plenty of chasing, but not many good quality visible tornadoes. For instance here is a complete write up of this past two days:

June 12. Started in Chamberlain, SD, blasted south and spent the afternoon near Council Bluffs, Iowa. First DECENT cell went up and moved across the river near Onawa, IA. We had a large rotating wall cloud (which if you watched our streaming video you would have seen), but it couldn't focus enough to tube. Then the fun begins. Many storms, seeding each other and becoming very messy, developed along the boundary. We drifted north to just southeast of Sioux City as a large RAPIDLY rotating wall cloud formed, producing MANY MANY funnels in a merry-go-round fashion and moved northeast. We stayed with it, TOR warned of course, until it went into the hills. Then attention turned to the storm 5-10 miles to our south, the Little Sioux storm. We headed into Blencoe, IA dodging intense CGs, high winds and wrapping rain curtains and made our way east towards Moorhead. The tornado passed about 2-3 miles from us! We continued to intercept storm after TOR warned storm, in a very messy line until we got tired and blew it all off to head to St Joe, MO, where we were greeted with the remains of the Manhattan, KS storm. Crazy day, intense, but pretty frustrating.

June 13: Left St Joe headed to Wichita to play the southern end of the boundary. Drifted north to where the dryline and boundary intersected and was THE hot spot for initiation. Hoping for nonsupercell tornadoes. We followed storms as they would develop there and move northeast intensifying. First such storm went racing off towards Topeka. We couldn't catch it nor did we really want to. The next one developed and QUICKLY became supercellular as it approached Strong City, KS. It developed a nice hook, large wall cloud and was spinning like a top. You could see the blob fall out the back of the supercell as rotation increased tremendously. A couple of brief funnels would form, spin and disippate in a shot time. We then stair stepped back southwest towards the next storm. As we approached the updraft a HUGE round low level mesocyclone came into view with one of the WILDEST merry-go-rounds I have ever seen! We couldn't see the ground under it, but there was a reported multivortex tornado with it. We had to blast to Cottonwood Falls and head south to get out of the core. As we did, the now HP storm approached. A tail cloud was being drawn in from the east as the rear flank core surged towards us. MAJOR LEAGUE rotation was occuring as we stopped about 5 miles south of Cottonwood Falls. All of a sudden VERY fast rotating rain curtains approached from the west as chunks of debris fell from them. TORNADO! rain wrapped. We BLASTED south out of its way and let it go, now targeting the southern storm. As we approached Wichita on the turnpike, CG activity became extreme. When we punched through the core, the storm became tornado warned and FOR GOOD REASON!!!!! A LARGE circular mothership base came into view as rain curtains wrapped from west to east across the turnpike. We were greeted with golfball sized hail as the vault passed overhead. We headed to Mulvane and blew east to get in front of the monsterous mothership, stack of plates supercell. The view was PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Circular base, FF updrafts, clear slot, and one of my clients said "Roger, there's a funnel". I couldn't see it and kept taking pictures. Well, there WAS a funnel, right where you would expect, and my pictures show a slender grey TORNADO under the wall cloud!!!! Too bad it was so close to dark to be able to see it clearer. We stayed with this storm till dark and then blasted west to chase an undercut supercell that was also amazingly electrified. Never have I had a tour that has had SO MANY close CG strikes!! Several times, a CG would occur within a few hundred yards of us as we watched the ground GLOW ORANGE where it would hit. It also did that in the trees a couple times!!! Crazy stuff! All in all a wild day, fun day and a great end to the tour.

A new chase season!

Hello everyone!

Well, the 2008 storm chasing season is well underway. Been a strange one, but I have managed to catch at least one tornado on each of my first three tours thus far. A beautiful supercell with a nice tapered cone tornado graced the landscape on April 23rd near Patricia, Texas. The structure of the supercell was as classic as it gets. The storm also produced baseball sized hail that shattered my windshield. No big loss there as the windshield was in need of replacement. Later that tour we encountered significant supercells and large hail on 4 of the next 5 days.

During Tour 2, the May 2nd Arkansas tornado outbreak occured. We were very fortunate to catch 4 tornadoes from the system, including two long lived and strong tornadoes, one in Arkansas near the town of Gilmore, and the other in Mississippi, near the town of New Albany. Unfortunately, significant damage and a few fatalites occured with these tornadoes that day. Which just reemphazises the need to follow tornado safety rules and to listen to the warning instructions from the National Weather Service. Also on this tour we would capture a magnificant rotating supercell producing softball sized hail near Roswell, New Mexico. This storm looked like a "mothership", pardon the pun.

Now we are into the Great Plains Lecture tour, a tour where I teach folks how to forecast and chase on their own. On day 2, May 10th we caught a tornado in the mountains of southeast Oklahoma. Very tought chase and very, very close tornado!

You can see all the 2008 chase accounts, videos, and photos by going to my website at www.stormchase.net.

I will be in southwest Nebraska Monday, and back into Oklahoma on Tuesday, then Texas on Wednesday for several days of severe storms!

Update! New TV Shows!

Hi everyone!

Well, as would be expected, the 2007 storm chasing season is over. We had a successful season with 48 tornadoes witnessed, with several days producing multiple tornadoes. Now the fun stuff!

We have a NEW tv show on The Travel Channel, called TORNADO ALLEY. It premiered Oct 14, was on again Oct 30 and will be on several more times. This is the first in a 4-6 part series that should take place over the next year. Check it out! It was a lot of fun making it!

Also, my new book, HUNTING WIND, is in the making and will hit the shelves in the fall of 2008. It is 15 chapters of action packed storm chasing adventures, and has a companion DVD with footage from many chases and an educational look at severe storms.

Finally, I STILL have one more hurricane/typhoon/cyclone to intercept for a world wide production company. It looks like now we will be forced to travel "down under" to the northern coastline of Australia! Their hurricane (cyclone) season runs Nov 1 through Apr 30. Their forecast this season is for 5 cyclones to develop with two being significant storms. We'll be there chasing the kangaroos around in the 150 mph winds should one impact the coast!

International Typhoon Chasing and Weekend Severe Weather

I experienced a first for me from October 5-8. I actually flew to Taiwan to intercept Super Typhoon Krosa as she made landfall on the eastern side of Taiwan. Logistics were certainly a challeng with no internet, no phone and tough roads to travel on. However, I was successful, as my friend Stuart Robinson from the UK joined me. We experienced winds over 120 MPH destroying crops, trees, small structures, structures on the sea and even watched as water was flowing UPHILL as winds blew up the coastal mountains. It was a grueling journey with a 21 hour flight each direction and major issues with jet lag (Taiwan is 14 hours ahead of us). Would I do it again? YOU BETCHA!

Oct 13-14 Severe Weather Potential!!! I will be storm chasing this weekend! The set up looks pretty good as a deep low develops in western Kansas, pulling moist air up from the gulf. Extremely good wind shear and modest instability will set the stage for supercell thunderstorms, most likely on Sun, in Kansas and possibly southern Nebraska. Saturday could be a sleeper day in northwest Kansas as a triple point sets up providing the potential for severe storms and tornadoes there is the cap can break! Stay tuned! I'll update as this situation develops!

Roger

Typhoon Krosa Projected Path

Hey son!

Well, North One wants to give it a go! However, we are trying to figure out where to chase her at :) The official path looks to be around Hirara, Japan, a small island east of Taiwan. However, any north turn and we miss it as it would go towards Okinawa. If you could check and see what you locals are thinking, that would be VERY appreciated! I would have to fly out tomorrow EARLY AM and not arrive in Taipei till 8 PM Thurs, then would have to jump a plane QUICKLY on Fri morning to Hirara.

Upcoming Hurricanes!!!!

With the hurricane season in full swing, I keep my eye on the tropics. I am under a contract with a worldwide media company to take them into the eye of two landfalling hurricanes anywhere in the world this fall! Tropical Depression 8, east of the Lessor Antillies, will most likely intensify into a significant hurricane over the coming next week to 10 days. I will be heading out with the film crew should this continue to become a reality. Whether it makes landfall in Puerto Rico, Jamaica or the US, I will be there.

Hurricane chasing is quite different than tornado chasing, as you put yourself INTO the path of the eye and eye wall. It is quite an experience getting pummeled with 125-200 MPH winds for hours at a time. You can literally watch the world coming apart. The sounds in a major hurricane are quite interesting with the constant roar of the winds, sounds of trees cracking and falling, glass breaking and metal getting ripped to pieces.

Keep tuned into KMGH for my upcoming adventures should this hurricane become a large one!

Roger Hill

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!

August 29th

I headed to central Nebraska August 28th to chase a somewhat marginal set up. I arrived near York mid afternoon and waited for storms to form. I recently purchased a Canon 10-22 MM lens to try out for wide angle photography. I wasn't dissapointed! Stunning quality and clarity from this lens!

Storms formed late afternoon and quickly became linear and outflow dominant. I encountered high winds, hail to quarter size and respectable lightning.

It looks like we will be going through a period of calm weather before a potential large system effects us by Sept 6-9 period.

We could also see a few storms today, but due to lack of wind shear and instability, no severe weather should occur. But, this IS Colorado and anything is possible!

Update, August 24

After two days of wild weather in Colorado and Wyoming, things are settling down for a couple of days.

August 22nd took me first north of Cheyenne, then east of Cheyenne for two pretty supercells. Both storms produced hail to golfball size. The storm east of Cheyenne gave me quite a scare. As I was standing outside the van under power lines, a bolt of lightning hit a power pole about 50 feet away from me. The shock wave from this almost knocked me down and I certainly could feel the electric discharge.

August 23rd took me south of the Palmer Divide, initially near Simla, then farther south to north of Ordway. Both supercells were classic Colorado hailers, producing golfball sized hail. The storm north of Ordway produced hail up to 6" or more deep! Quite a sight!

Week of July 21st

Been an interesting past few days for me. I have been in Tucson, Arizona filming monsoon storms. We are starting a new tour in 2008 called Desert Thunder and my goodness, our exploration this year has fit the name to a T! Daily storms developing off the mountains east of Tucson and migrating to the low deserts by early evening producing flash floods, INTENSE photogenic lightning, pretty backdrop for the cactus, and one haboob (dirt storm) that caused a MASSIVE pile up on I-10 that I came with 100 yards of being a part of. A semi barreled through as cars slammed on their brakes as the haboob dropped visibility to zero. The semi smashed into the rear ends of several vehicles causing a huge fire storm that was quite extreme! The video has been on every major network in the US and even landed me a couple live interviews by news agencies! Pretty wild!

July 3rd

Started the day contemplating a chase, but didn't know for sure if I would. By late morning, strong and rock hard towers were developing south of my house . Just finishing our tours, I was tired, and was headed into town to take care of some mailings. But, seeing the convection south of me, I couldn't resist. I blasted down I-70 headed for Limon around noon. Shortly after I got on 70, NWS PUB issued a tornado warning for the area southwest of Limon, CO in northeast El Paso county. Radar was pretty clear to see the boundary with various areas of interest along it. However before I even arrived in Limon, the developing cells dissipated.

I decided to go to the Post Office and mail my packages while I was there, and when I came out around 1:30 PM MDT I noticed a rather large area of towering cumulus off to my northeast, northwest of Flagler. More rapidly growing cumulus were developing along the boundary, which was as clear as day. What bothered me was my 91/44 ob at Limon, but noticed much better moisture farther northeast. So, off I went! I headed east bound of I-70 and watched as the towers developed into two young thunderstorms.

About 10 miles west of Flager, and about 5 miles north of I-70, a small tornado developed. This tornado quickly became visible to cloud base with a fairly transparent tube of dirt. It lasted only 4 minutes from 3:14 -3:18 PM MDT. The young thunderstorm farthest west developed a flared base, cork screwed updraft and even a clear slot, so I pushed east to get on it. At 3:21 PM, another debris cloud formed and by 3: 26 PM was completely to could base where a small funnel appeared. By 3:29 PM, the tornado had a rather large pear shaped debris cloud and was simply gorgeous to watch. At 3:31, the next tornado formed just west of it under a new tower. It persisted for 4 minutes before dissipating. Meanwhile the original tornado was continuing to strengthen. At 3:34 PM, a long slender grey funnel appeared just east of the clear slot and at 3:36 PM it touched down. At 3:38 PM two tornadoes criss crossed each other and made for a wild photo op!!! At 3:41 pm the one tornado lifted, while the supercell tornado continued. At 3:45 another tornado formed west of the supercell tornado, and another tornado formed southeast. Quite a wild shot with 3 on the ground at the same time! The farthest west tornado diminished and lifted at 3:49, while the supercell tornado persisted until 3:51. The farther east tornado lifted at 3:53.

Now is when the real fun begins! At 3:57 PM, I was near the junction of Kit Carson County Roads AA and 13, northwest of Siebert. A debris swirl formed about 100 yards to my north. Thinking it wasn't much of anything, I pulled over and got out of my van to watch. As I turned around, a coal black debris swirl formed about 300 yards to my south! I grabbed my cameras and them up. By 4:03 PM, the southern tornado became VERY strong with debris to cloud base and was the most photogenic nonsupercell tornado I have ever photographed! At 4:07 I turned around to grab another lens and saw a HUGE tornado just to my north. I couldn't believe my eyes! This was only about 200 yards away. It had a 300 yard debris cloud with a fat grey funnel directly overhead and extended from a very pronounced clear slot on the east side of a beautiful circular updraft! The wind speeds at the surface were QUITE strong around it as you could see multiple vortices rotating in it and inflow jets streaming into it. Gorgeous site! Meanwhile at 4:13 PM the tornado to my south diminished and lifted. I decided to head north on CR 13 and see how close I could get safely to the large tornado. I came within literally 50 yards of the debris cloud and stopped, filming every precious moment. The noise was horrendous!!!!!!! I saw pieces of tin flying around the base, along with fence posts and barbed wire. Soon, a telephone pole snapped off. I could see what looked like a couple dead animals in the field it had just crossed. This tornado moved northeast, then north and finally northwest, just missing the county sheriff's farmhouse, while his horses totally panicked trying to escape. At 4:22 PM, it dissipated, while yet another tornado formed to its west under a new tower. This fairly thin and snaking tornado lasted from 4:29 – 4:34 before giving in to developing cores.

As I headed south on 59 to Seibert hail to quarter size starting falling on me.

What a crazy day! You can watch the videos here at The Denver Channel!!!

June 21 Update Part 2

Caught a beautiful striated, albeit fairly high based, tornado warned storm near Bassett, Nebraska tonight. It produce two funnels and also had hail to baseball size. Damaged the two vans from it. Then chased a line segment in Cherry county, Nebraska that was a spectacular lightning producer.

Back to Denver tomorrow to get ready for my North Land Lecture Tour.
