June 11 Storm Chase

[Jayson Prentice]

Ended up touring through portions of southeast Nebraska on this storm chase, began with an interesting storm that managed to produce a ragged wall cloud and funnel at one point that surprised us (storm wasn't tornado warned at the time). Ended up struggling with a big line of storms, that mainly looked to produce strong outflow shelf clouds. The tornadoes throughout the day were hidden in walls of rain, we did however manage one tornado that crossed our path ~200 yards ahead that was embedded in rain (only vidcaps)...

For now, enjoy a few of the photos:

The panorama is most definately my favorite.
The roundness of the clouds just gives it an effect that i personally like.

The third and fourth ones are fantastic. They give a real sense of how big these storms are, thanks for sharing!
