COMPLETE JUNE 12, 2007 STORM CHASE LOG CAN BE FOUND HERE!!!

Second verse, same as the first! Just a different city, and fortunately my video camera survived the ordeal! After trashing a tape, my camera, and a pair of socks (eventually tossed) in yesterday's Imperial flood, I went for round 2, this time in Ogallala! My tape, camera, and socks (sort of) survived in this, a much bigger round of flooding! The whole day last all of 3 hours and 97 miles, but that's all we needed! Still, photos, and video can be found on my chase log.

Plan was to play the east edge of the dry slot. Ended up between Arapahoe and Elwood, NE. A slight delay had us singing the 15 minutes too late blues as our target storm developed a large blocky wall cloud with a twisty tail cloud. The cell quickly got undercut and lined out into a bunch of crap. http://www.mnwxchaser.com/07june12.html

Eastern Colorado structure

After floundering around east of Colorado Springs on Hwy 94 watching/photographing mainly junkus (did see one gustnado near Ellicot), I headed back east to intercept the one lone storm out ahead of this linear stuff. The one lone storm evolved into a cluster of storms from Punkin Center to Hugo. Amidst this cluster of stuff, a well-organized storm evolved near Hugo with nice tiered structure with a bit of an inflow notch. I followed this north on unpaved road north of Wild Horse when the structure looked more linear, but beautiful! At times, I could barely see on the horizon to the northwest a very ominous lowering beneath the shelf structure, an inflow notch area that coincided with a radar meso. Again, the shelf structure was beautiful against the Colorado plains...excellent for photography once again.
