2010

Turkey time is almost here and working on a recap of 2010.  It was a lame year, but had decent pics.

Stay tuned.

Double Rainbow, What does it mean???










No tip of the hat to the YouTube dude.
I didn't stand out in the yard yelling "What does it mean"?

Kansas State Squall line

It's amazing how many people you are out of town at the same location.  On Saturday September 25, 2010 a rather nasty squall line went through Manhattan, Kansas as the KState Football game was underway.  The first two pictures are from long time friend Micaela Barnes who was at the game.  Notice the low hanging clouds at the bottom of the first photo that were slowly rotating.

These were lifted from the Eagle and ESPN.

Apparently the professionals can't get the Physics right either.

Second Season 091510 Tornado warnings


I've been hoping for weather, really of any type.  I noticed earlier in the week that maybe there might be some sort of storms going through the area today.  When I went out this afternoon, I was pleasently suprised.  A cold front touched several strong storms in the area.
The ones pictured here had funnels associated with it in Reno County and over Cheney Lake,  I watched this wall cloud collapse and reform three times before the rumors of hail associated with the storm made me decide to go home, that and a dead battery on the camera.    
The area had strong updraft (note the rain curtains on both sides) and gobbled the small clouds that were forming below it in the humidity getting absorbed by the storm.  Even though I really didn't see any of the funnels, it was nice to go on an early fall, second season run.

Ross & Millie's Blog: Largest Hailstone

Ross & Millie's Blog: Largest Hailstone

Something over from Ross Janssen at KWCH. This links to pictures of the new record hailstone that fell in South Dakota. The thing to think about is this fell, set in a field, and probably was rained on and melted some before being found.
