We are on our way home, concluding our last photo shoot west of
Liberal of the approaching supercell storm. We followed this thing
all the way from west of Kim, Colorado! However, we really didn’t get
back into a good road network to chase the storm until the Pritchett,
CO area… where we documented numerous gustnadoes. There was a brief
moment where a translucent, tube tornado occurred at the forward flank
of the storm. This was definitely a legitimate tornado, approac 15
SSE of Pritchett, CO at 6pm MDT. Afterwards, the storm became more
outflow dominant, and we followed it to far SW Kansas (Morton
County). We were in “find gas station” mode, and decided that Hugoton
was the best option… The supercell erupted again just west of
Richfield and we photographed one hell of a green looking vault
region.
