Incredible supercell structure timelapse over Lake McConaughy in western Nebraska during our late May chase trip. Greatest storm structure I have ever seen! Check out the teeth-like VVS in the vault region!

The final epic moment of yesterday's chase was this encounter with an elevated supercell! The first shot may be one of my luckiest ever, not only because we woke up early enough to chase it in the first place, but also because I caught a full in frame bolt shooting at 1/25.

Evolution of the Minden/Harlen violent tornado on Friday. Obviously mergers were impactful here, in this case to me the merger looked more detrimental to the storm. Meso seemed inhibited for a while until the southern cell cleared out of the inflow.

Today I learned: Radar resolution is more a function of how the data is processed rather than radar hardware. So with the original IQ signal you can actually up the resolution as much as you want (at the cost of data quality). This one goes all the way back to KOUN May 9, 2003!

The Jewell, IA tornado on July 14 only got more photogenic as it began its lengthy rope-out stage over open corn fields. Quite the site to see this cross the road in front of us for a third time. At this point I thought it was done, and I was wrong again.

The meso on that supercell yesterday was absolutely massive. Had it not been for the inversion or maybe lack of great near surface shear this thing could have planted a mile wide tornado. Instead, it seemed like there were brief vortices dancing underneath.
