Well even though this was my first time chasing, I traveled over 5,400 miles in only 10 days! Luckily I got to see my first tornado in WY of course on June 7th. Most of the chasing I do however is locally in Northern IL. Here are my top ones:
June 14, 2009 - Wall cloud 6 miles West of Hanover, Indiana (didn't produce a tornado).
September 20, 2009 - Severe Storm dropping at least 4" of rain in the area, this is on Highway 62 looking south between Charlestown and Jeffersonville, Indiana.
September 26, 2009 - Storms with strong winds coming into Palmyra, Indiana from the north with a tornado look a-like. This had no rotation, even had a fellow weather friend verify on radar over the phone. I just had fun watching this, so erie. Produced some nice lightning.
That is a really awesome photo. It's cool how the return strike followed the exact same path but only with a few "feet" of difference. Like the ion trail shifted with the wind in that fraction of a second. Really cool stuff.
