This was a pretty good day for me. I headed out around 3:30 CDT with intentions of heading west and intercepting the line coming out of MN. However, i saw this over Eau Claire and decided to follow it.
This storm was never severe warned, and it wasn't looking real impressive, so i started moving west again toward the severe warned line. I took the following picture when i decided to turn around and go back east to Osseo, Wisconsin, where this was. I figured I might as well keep watching it, since the line would overtake me anyway.
In Osseo I filled up with gas, and the sirens started going off. They were for the approaching storms, but it was still cool to hear them and watch the first storm boil away to the east.
Finally I found the best spot i could outside of Osseo (which still didn't have a great view due to the corn) to let the line blow over. I wish i wouldve gotten more than one semi-good picture of this as it was the highlight of the day. This looked so ominous and huge appearing over the tops of the cornstalks. There was awesome vertical motion with this.
Shortly after this the line passed me and brining lots of rain and not very impressive winds.
I saw multiple CG's all day, no pictures though.
