Robin and I are watching the initial supercell weaken quite a bit to
our NNW, however a new updarft is developing rapidly to our WNW. We
are sitting on a farm road about 10 NNW of Kimball. We missed the
long-lived tornado by 30-45 minutes or so. We were just too late to
the storm. Matt Crowther reported observing the tornado for some 25
minutes. Can’t wait to see his images. We will sit here at our spot
until it becomes clear we need to make a move. As we were driving
into Kimball, though, we probably caught a glimpse of the last stage
of the tornado way off on the horizon some 30 miles away to our
northwest. We have no image documentation of this though. More later
as time permits.
