Well me and Ashley Wakeman first intercepted a cell just west of Nebraska City. After watching it a while I wasn't very impressed so we begin going SW towards Lincoln. We intercepted the cell was tornado warned there and it did show healthy features. I was drawn to a cell that at that time was just a little NW of Lincoln, healthy looking with good inflow. The cell was beautifully structured with a sort of brewing cloud movement and a wall cloud. We took east quickly to make sure we still had visibility on the wall cloud. As we moved north of Waverly a condensation funnel reached down towards the ground and we got out and taped it's 10-15 second lifespan. Just looked at the footage and it looks pretty convicing. LSR's don't seem to show this tornado and im curious if anyone else saw this tornado which would have been 2-3 miles north of Waverly/Greenwood. I'll post once I get back.
Man, we must have just missed that because we ran around the backside of that storm at around 8:00 PM about 15 minutes from waverly after it had passed there, so we must have hit it too late, it seemed to blow up right over us though and we got a pretty awesome light show.
Also watched a storm form over Council Bluffs IA about 6:30PM which just produced some light hail, but it was beautiful, it had a really cool wall of rain.
I have a video I'm rendering right now, not extremely exciting, we saw some minor rotation from the same storm you are talking about, but nothing threatening.
The video has both storms in it and will be up in 15 minutes, if you're not bored, probably not worth the download, its maily just a neat light show
