Twas a fun day for some We only bagged a brief tornado. Fair to say its mother didn't know it was out on its own

Loads of ticks in boxes today though.

It was a very cool day, it didnt turn out as planned, but with so many boxes ticked it's going to be one that the team and guests will all remember    

 

A 400 mile wide derecho with damaging wind speeds, embedded storms and huge hail passed over our heads before it really started throwing down hail.

 

 

 

 

Then a few storms later we were treated to an amazing sunset

 

 

What followed was an incredible light show, I'll let others share their pics, as I just watched and then drove through a strobing sky with multiple CG's as we headed to our overnight hotel in Kearney and a well earned midnight beer at Applebys

Glad you made the most of it all and indeed the dustnados / dusty-gust fronts or whatever they were looked impressive.

The general concensus is a bit of a bust with reference tornados but there'll always be something to take from the day.

I nearly forgot the mammatus, still a little car lagged...
