Debris!!!... We have debris..

Silo anyone?

Hmmm... strange angle here..

Cross now or be delayed 7 minutes..

We have mail.

A little ray of light..

Nice.

The power line thing always seems to work well.

We are stopped just outside of Greensburg, Kansas.

Oh no!. A Tornado warned storm is approaching us and Greensburg.

Rotation present.

Other tours admiring the view..

We have very high lightning activity at the moment.

Very dangerous situation,

Storm front is very strong.

Great colours in the sky.

Hail front is approaching.

Getting closer.

Much closer.

Ok... it's upon us now.

Some of these are golf ball sized.

Not massive hail, but more than enough to turn your car into a golf ball.

HAIL ANYONE?

:)

Cool... (Actually Technically Freezing)

Measuring time.

Welcome to Greensburg.

Oh No..  Storm heading through Greensburg AGAIN!.

You would think one EF5 Tornado is enough.

Not fair.

The poor residents are traumatised enough.

Scary clouds overhead.

Rotation has already passed, thankfully no damage.

A ruined building.

A lone farmhouse stands tall.

Storm spotters everywhere.

We are all hiding under a massive awning. Massive hail fell for about 10 minutes.  Absolutely incredible.
It was so loud you could barely hear yourself scream.

Everyone guarded by the shelter.

Well.... At these wind speeds the rain went sideways...

Got a little wet taking these photos.

A little...  Well...  Ok... Soaked.

Very Soaked.

Ok... Even my bones got wet.

Amazing I managed to keep the lens dry.

Damn it was fun.

As you can see.. I am the only one outside the vans.

Can anyone say..  "Exclusive Photos"  :)

Heading back on the road... It's safe to come out and chase again..

Lots of chasers on the Spotter Network.

Ok..  It's getting heaver again.

Trying to catch up to the storm.

The storm has managed to back build, and we are stuck in it now.

Very dark.

Still carefully watching the skies.

We are watching very closely.

Rotation is still possible

We now in near Pratt, Kansas. We thought the storm had finished for the day, BUT it decided to suddenly drop
a small tornado right in the town and few hundred yards away from us.

Charles just got off the phone to the National Weather Service and reported a confirmed Tornado.
Our report turned the storm into a Tornado Warned Storm and the sirens started blaring soon after.

The worst place to be in a Tornado warned storm is in a city.

Funnel just lifted.

Very dangerous situation.

Our view is blocked by structures.

There it is...

Rotation is very much there.

No real funnel at this point, but you can still make out the shape.

There's our Tornado report and newly issued red watch box.

Wall cloud.

Damn.

Scary..

Massive storm.

This storm was dead.

Then it decided to re-form...

This is not very common.

What a wall cloud.

Still looking for a Tornado.

Wow.

Wow Squared.

Other chasers escaping the town.

Eric taking some nice shots. (To the right)

Getting closer.

Much closer.

A little later after these series of the photos a large Tornado dropped down right on the highway.

It happened just as we were getting back in the vans.

Hi Eric.

Looking for the perfect shot.

Beaver tail.

Damn that's low.

Getting darker.

It's not really that dark.. it's just me playing with the exposure..

Stopped for a quick break.

There's Dan from the Netherlands.... Hi Dan.

BANG!.  This strike happened 20 seconds before Chris Smith from the 2GB Drive Show did a live radio interview with me.

Some shots from the hotel.

Pretty.

Storm is fading away into the distance.
