Amazing HP supecell to our west with incredible lightning.

In case anybody's not aware of this site -http://www.spotternetwork.org/google.php - you can track real-time where the various chasers are - combined with radar and satellite loops with county seat layouts you can pretty much figure out which storms they're on, even if they're not linked with live web cam - often instructive to follow where the various groups set themselves up prior to initiation, and then how they track storms.

"Chaser convergence" going on between Hill City and Hays now!!

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Wed 23/05/2007 13:51

Yes Peter, lots of chasers turning up at our position now.

Peter · Unread post by **Peter** » Wed 23/05/2007 13:56

Yeah, the guy I drive for - Todd Thorn, Storm Chasing Adventure Tours - just near, north of Ellis - do you have a call sign identified on the Spotter Network?

Our callsign is 'Willoughby' FYI

Lightning is INCREDIBLE here!

Yeah, I see you Willoughby - near Wakeeney - gawd I'm looking forward to getting out there end of this week!

Have a great night - tomorrow's looking even better in your area. Cheers, Peter

Surprised to see you still in Wakeeney, Willoughby - 50K topped meso to your southwest blowing up - and 55k meso right over you? Shouldn't you be running east ahead of the storm? You must be getting really dumped on!

Today is an awsome day! You guy's hopefully will (or have) encountered a tornado. And I turned AU $17 into HEAPS!! yaho! I could've come to America afterall!

Spwill, we are booked at Days Inn. It has been paid for so you will have to make it here. We are under the Gun here with a tornado warned storm approaching town. Amazing lightning show.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Wed 23/05/2007 14:33

Tornado sirens wailing here now!

Have been stuck at Wakeeney for the last hour HUGE lightning show through our eastern sky.

Managed to miss the very large hail at Hill City but we did have 2cm stones

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Wed 23/05/2007 15:01

Spwill, you will get through to Hays once this storm is through.

Sirens still going off here and police coming through town telling people to take cover. Storm just on western side of town now I see on radar. What an awesome lightning show we have.

ricky · Unread post by **ricky** » Wed 23/05/2007 15:04

The most active part of new generation is heading right for you there!, possibly a bit to the north.. showing 2-2.5" hail in several cores as well

ricky · Unread post by **ricky** » Wed 23/05/2007 15:42
