Tornadoes!

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

No, not in Raleigh. I’m currently in Pratt, Kansas after we intercepted three tornadoes from one supercell in Protection, Kansas on April 23, 2007. Have a look:

April 24:

After another long day that was initially more promising, we didn’t catch a tornado, although we did miss one by about 20 miles and 20 minutes near Sterling, Kansas. We did see a nice vivid rainbow and some spectacular cloud structure on the back of a storm’s shelf cloud, at least

I’m uploading on a cellphone so these images are small.
