June 7th, 2008 NE IA Chase, Multiple Tornadic storms

Posted by Rich

Headed out at 1:30 after a last minute decision. The voices were telling me to head south. The cell in front of Chris’s was crossing 35 as I made it across the border so I went after that one. Looked pretty decent, was warned almost to the Wi border where it collapsed within a couple of scans. A nice wall cloud on it. Never did see any rotation or funnels though.

Dropped back to the cell behind that one which was still tor warned, looked nice on Radar, but looked pretty shelfish from the ground. Let that one go to as the cells were starting to merge together. Punched through the line and headed for home.

Played with streaming again today. Had problems with the connection dropping, but I suspect that had something to do with the fact I was moving in and out of Sprint territory down there.

High winds came through, tipped over trees, knocked out boards on my fence, stripped my willow tree of leaves.
