Robin and I managed to photograph a very beautiful supercell across
the southern Nebraska panhandle. Even though we missed the tornado
this storm produced earlier in the afternoon, this was a very fun and
rewarding chase. We managed to get fairly close to a very wild
rotating cloud mass northwest of Dalton shortly after there was a
storm merger. I thought for sure tornadogenesis was imminent on a
couple occasions, especially with the cloud bases so low. In fact,
there was a broad dusty circulation we noted which very well could
have been a brief, broad/weak tornado. We are going to be staying in
Ogallala, NE tonight. Tomorrow’s target is still uncertain with a
number of different options possible. -Mike U with Robin L.
