May 21, 2010 - Eastern Wyoming Supercell

Luke, Seth and I chased the supercell in eastern Wyoming yesterday. Probably got there to late for the best structure. Also missed the short lived tornado that was reported. The highlight of the day was probably sitting through the shower of golfballs it produced.






You can see that RFD cut back there. We drove into that core after this and had fun with the hail.






I'm thinking that I am becoming a worse photographer the more I do it. The lens was knocked off AF and was focused beyond infinit which means that nothing was in focus in these photos. :P Same problem as the last chase. You can see the hailstone though. They were mostly about golfball sized maybe a few bigger ones in there.


After this we had a fun time driving through some back roads back across the border into Nebraska.




Back in Nebraska on Hwy 29.




Drove north on 29 toward Harrison to see some cool structure before sunset.






We had a lot of fun on this chase...

Those hailstones are nice! You got some nice photos. The last two are my favorite.

I think the 4th is my favorite. It is just so different and cool.

Those hail stones were really fun! Luke was in the front seat and I was in the back. Luke would leave his window open and I would catch the golf balls as they flew into the back seat!

Oh wow...the hailstones are so cool!! Now as long as the hailstones didn't damage any crops, it'll be all good.
