OK, now I am officially pi$$ed- I drove home today.....this happens a lot where the best tornadoes occur right when I leave....the worst was June 8, 2005 (Pampa, Allison). In any event congrats on a great storm/tornado. At least I saw the April 26 and June 6 tornadoes.....

You're pi$$ed. Try being 25 miles from the storm at the Elm Creek exit and missing the entire show. Kinda hard to top that one.

Radar Images from Aurora Tornado

I found some radar images relating to the Aurora NE tornado 06-17-09:

The following two images are radar shots showing the hook echoes:

I was up until 11 p.m. watching the storm on radar to see if it continues on Hwy 34 which will wind up in Lincoln NE. Fortunately the storm died out in Seward County at about midnight.

Congrats to all who chased and got great shots!!

Hey, does anyone know who AJ Fable is, the guy screaming his head off on the CNN iReport video of the Aurora tornado? The Nebraskan newspaper I work for wants to contact him since apparently he's a Nebraska chaser. Can't find hide nor hair of him here on Stormtrack or in on any of the chaser email lists I subscribe to.

Is that the guy that faked the tornado last year and sold the video to the AP? I remember that last name because someone said it was Fable's Fable.

Mike, do you have any news about the first tornadoes east of Hebron? I'm not able to find anything on the web, but I'm a little curious

i had to sit this one out(and today's) bc of a car accident i was in that caused $10,000 damage to my $2500 car the worst part is the lady ran the red light while i was making a turn in front of her, and somehow i'm at fault i almost took the wifes car out though, kinda wish i had now. great job though by everyone that was there. at least i got to see alot of live video feeds

Yes, its the same guy. Apparently the media is over the fact that he faked the video last year because TWC used his Aurora tornado video.

Good day all,

OK, now I am officially pi$$ed- I drove home today.....this happens a lot where the best tornadoes occur right when I leave....

LOL man ... I feel IT too (the angst, ballz-tingling anger) ;-(

This week June 12-20 was blocked for my cancelled May 21-June 1 chase trip. The last weekend boss has us doing sys upgrade and said "no" to the trip as she went on 5 day cruise THIS week of all weeks.

2009 has NOT been a very nice year to some.
