Images from a great, grueling chase dayPosted May23, 2007 at 09:16 AM
I'll be working on getting images and video from Tuesday's chase in northwest Kansas for many days -- especially since we're expecting another potentially very active chase day today in southern Kansas. We targeted an area along and north of Interstate 70 between Hays and Colby, near and just west of WaKeeney. By 4 p.m., storms began to fire just west of where we were waiting for them, and we spent about the next five hours chasing storm structures of incredible beauty and power over the open plains of Kansas. We did see a tornado, as you can see in the middle of the attached video and also in the still shot linked below. Below is a sampler of some of what we saw, beginning with a big image of the "mother ship" supercell in the inset photo ... the structure of the storm rounded by powerful winds aloft.
