Looks like everything is starting to settle down into a convective mess here in NE. Convection everywhere, but nothing too strong or discrete. I'm watching the cell down in NE KS from here in Beatrice (I'm back), but I don't have much hopes for it given the way it's oriented with another cell right on it's butt.
Spent the day chasing the tornado down in Kansas. Had to chase it from the SW; it was pretty impossible to get ahead of it on the road network since we started from behind. Saw the tornado on the ground for about 3 minutes before it lifted or got wrapped in rain (couldn't tell, we were from behind). Saw lots of damage today along the track. Tore up part of Clay Center pretty bad, but luckily it just hit a little west of the main residences in town.
My guess is that everything's done here today in SE NE. Hope I'm wrong -- it's been kinda an oversold day, if you ask me!
