Stormchaser Chicken George Day 6 - Montana

[Paul Sherman]

Chicken George is still alseep after falling foul of some dodgy eggs last night at the restaurant.

Today looks like some marginal Supercell Structures so will trek a bit further north from our overnight coup in Billings and hope for some nice storms later

Had a great day, We had dinner in Roundup and chased a few storms. Decided to head towards Glendive and csught s glimpse of a funell cloud,  We then got battered        by the incomming dtorm

All in all a very interesting day.  We watched quite a few storms trying to develop, they were moving ENE away from us so we dropped back onto larger a few larger more mature severe storms that were moving in from the south west.  As we needed to be east for the following day we kept ahead of the line of storms. We stopped occassionaly to take photos. 

At one point a small funell developed and so we cut south ahead a storm to watch the area of interest and allowed to storm to catch up with us.  See video.

We then attempted to get into a position where we could film the mamatus clouds but that meant driving down dirt roads which had been made treacherous by the previous storm.
