Storm Chase Day 11: Success in South Dakota

Click here for the Hokie Storm Chase page

MASON CITY, Iowa -- We were successful in catching a couple of severe storms and even a wall cloud in South Dakota on Sunday. I'll eventually get up some photos, but it is very late (nearly 2 a.m.) now in Mason City, Iowa. We'll be up pretty early on Monday and on the road much of the next 2 days, headed back to Virginia with possibly a little more severe weather to catch in southern Iowa or central Illinois on the way. So you may not hear from me again until we're back.

  1. Does anyone know the offical total of rainfall here at the Roanoke Airport for the month of May 2009. Also, I would like to know how much we had received for the Spring 2009 for March-May timeperiod and if we are above normal in rainfall so far this year. Thanks.

  2. David: Here is a web site that should be able to help you, or anyone looking for recent data for local weather sites.

    I'll be back to taking a closer look at our local weather once the road lag fades in a day or two.
