Cloud County Kansas Video

Storm chasers Michael Laca, Jim Leonard, Linda Kitchen, Kathy Velasquez, Ray Walker, Eric Baker and Max Hagen intercepted an intensifying supercell thunderstorm in Gove County, Kansas on the afternoon of May 22, 2008. This particular cell produced a well-defined rotating wall cloud, with very low rotating scud, that evolved into a ragged funnel as it crossed the road in front of us. From our observations the circulation did not appear to have any reflection on the surface. So, although impressive in appearance, this likely wasn't a tornado.

BNVN Weather Paparazzi Brandon Ivey was out chasing the severe storm's that hit the Sedgwick and Sumner County, Kansas region today with large hail and several tornadoes. The storms dropped baseball and softball sized hail that busted the front windshield and even broke off the drivers side mirror to Brandon's car. After the hail and heavy rain, Brandon was able to get a shot of the circulation on the ground and footage of one of the tornadoes before it became rain wrapped. After sunset, the footage continues in Winfield, KS where a large tree was knocked down while hail was falling. Additional footage of a street light blown over on Highway 160 with a trash can blowing down the highway. The video ends with footage of strong winds and rain illuminated by a street light at night.

Time video was taken is 12:35am, Had gone to bed only to continue to see lightning to the northwest, so I looked at radar and found a rotating supercell in northeast reno, northwest harvey counties, it had a severe thunderstorm warning on it, but showed it was to stay in northern 3rd of harvey (the warning box at least, and the radar was from wunderground, since ICT radar was down due to technical problems) After looking at storm relative motion on the HD radar site, it had moved into the county and began to have a right angle in the cell with rotation evident on both radar and relative motion, so went north on K-15 to NE 48th and west a mile to Anderson. Several times there appeared to be a wall cloud and funnels, (as the storm was over Hesston, Kansas) but because I wasn't sure if what i was seeing was accurate I didn't call it in. I am wanting feedback on the video and curious to see if any of you see anything that you would have called in. Positive comments please, something useful. (I always like to learn new things).

Storm chaser Brandon Ivey was out in Jewell County Kansas today and was chasing a large tornado. Jewell County is on the Kansas and Nebraska state line and about half way between Grand Island, NE and Salina, KS.

I think we jinxed this storm. As soon as we arrived it stopped producing tornadoes. We kept with it while it produced multiple funnels and some beautiful wall clouds. This chase started east of El Dorado and ended NW of Eureka, KS for us. This storm produced a tornado between El Dorado and Rosalia, Kansas.

Funnel Cloud over Southern Franklin County Kansas April 27th 5:20 PM from about 20 miles away. It is shaky because I just wanted a quick shot before trying to get closer to it and I couldn't hardly see it on my LCD screen because the sun was reflecting off of it.

Last night BNVN Weather Paparazzi Brandon Ivey was chasing a severe storm in Barton County Kansas that produced pea to quarter size hail along with heavy rains and high winds. At one point in the storm it was an LP or Low Precipitation, where you can see more of the storm structure that is normally obscured by the rain. Brandon reported that the storm dissipated at sunset.
