Chase Day 1 Reports & Pictures

[Paul Sherman]

Just another day at the office in Colorado for Netweather, only scored 4 tornadoes today but some were very pleasing on the eye and others have insane video footage.

Target was Fort Morgan to Sterling. Got onto the first Tornado Warned storm near Wiggins and watched it rip up a few trees and throw farm machinery across the road near us and a nasty tumble weed cut Sir Tom Lynch's arm.

After that we left that storm whilst it was still tornado warned and blasted east towards Wray where a pair of Supercells were starting to get interesting and near Eckley we watched a stunning white elephants trunk tornado just to our North. The last Supercell in the line just to our south east started to drop golfball hail on us so we let the core pass and went under the base of this stunning LP Supercell. Just near Wray our 3rd Tornado briefly touched down and then the best of the day touched down 2 miles North of Wray which was the star of the show. Will put a few pictures up here but the others have incredible video footage to show you all.

Staying in Colby overnight big day tomorrow.

A good start to the hunting season, buzzing guests I would imagine.

Bummer, I was unable to watch last night due to the Blue Veil of Leicester descending.....never mind, tonight's on...

The recordings of the stream from overnight are processing at the moment, I'll try to edit some highlights together later when they're done.

Looks like an awesome day, really enjoyed watching the stream last night.

Looking forward to seeing the videos and reports from the home team.

Meantime, if its OK to post here, a super video on the Keraunos site.
