2008-05-29 Report

Wow what a day as it was another amazing High Risk Thursday in the plains. We caught the tornado with power flashes in Kearney, NE. The wall cloud vault was amazing on this storm. Damage is reported in Kearney and we hope that there were not any injuries as it went straight through town.

The Kearney storm was becoming disorganized so we all shot down through Hastings, NE into Kansas to the cell coming out of the west in a better environment. We caught sight of the tornado near Tipton, KS and chased it till dark north of Beliot, KS. In Jewell, KS the water tower was blown down and a church had a wall blown out. Did a lot of driving to position on the storms today so I did not get a deploy with the Wicked Witch 3. Had we been able to setup in front of one of the tornadoes with atleast a few minutes I could've been in position but it was all we could do to get up to the storms today!
