Blog Chases Tornadoes
WeatherBug has a blog called StormChase 2005 that has been tracking the WeatherBug team's efforts to chase a tornado. Their hard work was rewarded on May 6th when they spotted a funnel emerging from a wall cloud:
Today was a great day! We tracked a storm from its beginnings as a small cumulus cloud crossing the dryline, to its development into a full mesoscale system complete with two funnels that lowered several hundred feet out of a wall cloud before they dissipated back up into the cloud. Fortunately for the farmers and residents of Dundy County, no tornadoes touched down. It was a thrill to behold. Megan's Boston accent finally came out as she kept repeating "This is wicked awesome!" We captured great video and photos. A few are included below and some in my photo album that you can view at right. Take a look!
