Chase Case #4 (2010 Version)

[Chip Redmond]

Will likely drop south and just miss or from a distance catch the Clay Center storm and then track it NW till it out runs me (which is a good possibility for these storm motions). Keeping a close eye just to the south of it too. Good opportunity for multiple intercepts.

I'm going to assume I started moving east from near Caldwell once I saw storms fire and got on one of the two cells straddling the KS/OK border. Whether or not I would've seen anything is a different story because that area is piss-poor chasing terrain. Kinda surprised to see NC KS light up with tornadic storms like that. Guess my discussion from earlier in the day was wrong.

 

[JeffGonzales]

dropping down from Lincoln, NE to Gage county around Beatrice, NE to try to catch the storms as they move up

 

[Robert Dewey]

Headin' for Manhattan, hoping to catch that supercell.

 

[Wesley Luginbyhl]

As I have been in Salina since noon, I would hope to be along side the storm near Clay Center with the pedal to the floor trying to stay with that storm. After being in Salina most of the day, I already have a steak house picked out.

 

[Dean Baron]

Looks like I should have stayed in Salina. I'm going to assume that I saw those storms start to become dominant on my way to Witchita and I am blasting back north towards Junction City, KS.

I should have stayed in Wichita this morning. Nevertheless, I didn't make too bad of a choice as I watched initiation in central Kansas and I blasted south from Lincoln, NE and headed towards Marysville, KS to intercept the strong supercell heading that way.

Hoping I remembered to charge my camera batteries for this one.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

I don't want to be playing catch up with the cell toward Elk cnty. Instead, I'll follow the cell in Harvey cnty, KS. The storm doesn't look too great right now, but maybe it'll be a different story around the Council Grove, Cottonwood Falls, Americus, KS area or at some point down the road.

 

[Chad Moore]

Being at Junction City, KS at 2030Z, I was able to make the intercept at Clay Center at 2143. Sticking with the grandaddy storm that started in Hutchinson and is tracking NNE rapidly. Backed away east after intercept to head north on US 77 to reintercept between Marysville, KS and Beatrice, NE. Got lucky today.

It'll be tough to keep up with this storm motion, but at least I'm on the non-hail side and it doesn't look too rain-wrapped yet.

 

[Scott Hammel]

Looks like I should have stayed in Salina. I'm going to assume that I saw those storms start to become dominant on my way to Witchita and I am blasting back north towards Junction City, KS.

Ditto for me! I wasn't planning on heading all the way to Wichita but I was heading in that general direction...

 

[Tom Dulong]

I'm heading south out of Beatrice, NE hoping to intercept that nice supercell that is currently near Salina moving quickly northeastward. I should be on it within about an hour.

 

[Dann Cianca]

I'm way too far out of position in SW Iowa and as soon as storms fired, which I would estimate happening around 19Z, I would have started west. I can say with reasonable certainty that by 21Z, I'll be in Beatrice, NE and continuing westbound. Not on a storm yet, but I can see the anvils.

 

[Adam Lucio]

Since I was sitting in Newton I would have made my move north to get on the warned cluster. Looks like a storm is going up right there near where I was sitting, so I am also keeping an eye on that in case the stuff Im going to falls apart and that storm takes over.

 

[Jacob Ferden]

Sitting in El Dorado, I undoubtedly would have gone down to the big cell on the KS / OK border. No idea if I've seen anything because the road network bites.

 

[Kevin Crawmer]

Well I am on the Salina storm and bagged that short-lived touchdown. Hope this thing stays together. I like the environment the storms are in down south.
