Our early evening storm did produce a tornado but we were out of position to see it, roading was poor in the area.
Ran into Willo again yesterday

neat watching the live streams. Find the ones that have sound and its like being in the car. Having a lot of connectivity issues though with the huge number of people streaming today.

An epic day in Kansas today, a long lived supercell produced many tornadoes

Another day with significant Tornadoes in both Kansas & Oklahoma. One estimated EF3 to 4 went through Chapman KS. Pity the Internet on Norfolk Island is no where near good enough to armchair chase with. I'm surprised at the lack of posts. Tomorrow still looking like a significant day.

We chased South of Wichita , busted with heaps of others. Spent the night photographing lightning on a Tor warned storm near Enid. It's now 1:48am and early start needed to get to N KS, S NE area tomorrow.

We ended up on the north side of the Salina storm

and missed the opportunity to see the long lived tornado wedge however we did catch a nice meso and smaller tornado on the new cell that developed behind.

We made a mistake with our road options and ended up on the wrong side of the storm. Picture here of the tornadic meso shortly before it dropped the tornado. RFD/precip about to block our view.

A quick edit of last nights epic lightning show on the back of the tornado producing Enid OK storm.
