Storm Chase April 26
Added 2024-04-26 16:07:49 +0000 UTCPlace your bets. A, B or C?
If I was more reckless I'd try a 2'fer starting with target A and blasting down to B. As of now I'm aiming at B.
Yesterday was a silly scramble through cold goobliglosh. There were some nice bolts and a 2" hail stone was kind enough to crack my window to the lower right and not impairing any camera views. Lots and lots of driving.
Let's see what Mother Nature has in store for us today. Good luck trail blazers!

100 tornadoes yesterday. The SPC map. Unreal.

2024-04-27 01:33:20 +0000 UTCDes Moines is now under a tornado warning. These storms are just not giving up. The one that started over Omaha looked like something you'd see in a nightmare after reading Revelation. Like a sky Cthulhu. True evil.

2024-04-27 00:47:44 +0000 UTCI have never heard the tornado sirens go off as many times as they did this afternoon in Omaha, NE where I live. Being under a Tornado Emergency is also quite a rush. My cats were freaking out!!

2024-04-27 00:35:53 +0000 UTCI am in shock at what I’m seeing. Entire neighborhood gone in Elkhorn (western Omaha suburb). Search in progress to confirm all people accounted for. People trapped in basements & under debris, but only minor injuries being reported. Lots of house damage in other areas through W/NW Omaha areas, Bennington Lakes, & Blair, NE. In Lincoln, entire factory with 70 employees leveled - all employees accounted for. So far, only injuries reported with some transported to hospitals in Omaha, Lincoln. Should know more later this evening with next press conference.
