Katie Burtis and I broke from the group out of Colby, KS and shot north on 83 to try and catch up with the storm north of McCook, NE. Got there a day late and a dollar short though as the tornado had already moved through the area causing the damage below that Amos describes above.
On the way back to Denver we watched in awe as the dryline finally fired down by Gardern City, KS. Kudos to those who were on those cells! A somewhat frustrating chase but there's no such thing as a bad chase! We had alot of fun!
Grain bin tossed across the road.
