05182017 High Risk Day

It was a busy day and an insane week.  Some days I wish I only could storm chase . . . but responsibilities.

Thursday, May 18th was a high risk day.   The weather leading up to this point had been quiet, warm, and windy.  Then on the last day of school . . . Bam!

High risk up to the corner of Wichita, Followed by a PDS tornado watch.

What happened?

.

The storms exploded into a big glob.  The lightning all was incredible but a series of choices led me to chase down into Oklahoma (near Wakita for any twister fans), when I should have gone into Salina, Kansas.  The storm we were chasing squalled out, so we left before getting hit with the wind.
