A large cluster of multicellular storms tracked through extreme NE TN. The storms were racing around 20 mph due SEE. I left the place that I live, only to catch a few shots, before it got too close. I then left the city that I live in, and ended up in Erwin, TN, on some very rural roads. Nevertheless, the trees totally destroyed any possibility for clear view for me. East TN is a piece of **** when it comes to having a clear view of landscape. I managed to find some higher elevated places, but the trees still hinder many of my shots.
The nature of the storms were quite unique, exhibiting natures of supercells, but quickly transitioning into outflow dominant characteristics.
I really did not expect to much from this chase, but I had a nice surprise from at least getting off my ass and chasing something. Pleasantly, the storm exhibited quite aesthetic structure, which obviously induces euphoria and a sense of worthlessness.
For a while, as I observed it, I noticed a distinct area of rotation at the leading edge of the supercell. That was right when it gusted out. I measured wind speeds around 67 mph in Erwin, TN. I got out of my car and endured the sting of the rain against my skin, just to feel alive.
