The day started at 7:30am MDT as we left Denver for our chase starting point in Broadus, MT. We arrived there just around lunch time. Waited for about two hours as we waited for the storms to form to our west. Then the chase was on until 12:30am CDT in Mandan, ND.
Here are some images from that day...
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in getting these out. Had some problems.
The first week we drove over 3000 miles and covered seven states. All of these photos are from Day 1. The rest of the week the storms initiated after dark.
Have more images to process when I get back home.
Just a quick overview.
Day one drove from Denver to Pierre SD. Caught storms in the Blackhills of SD. Had six tornado warnings but no tornadoes.
Day two stayed in the same area. We spent an hour at Devil's Tower. Then we proceeded back to the Blackhills to chase. We stopped in the Badlands for photos of lightning.
Day three we left Pierre and finished in Lincoln NE. Caught storms just south west of the city. Had one tornado warning. On this tornado warning we are calling it BS has the winds were not favorable for development of a tornado, even though it was reported by police. At night it is very hard to distinguish between scud clouds and a tornado.
Day four (today) we are heading towards eastern Iowa and western Wisconsin.
