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...
