6/16/2013 - Birdwood River, NE Storms

Another large area of marginal severe storm risk for the High Plains had us throwing darts on the road atlas for a target. We (my brother Ken, nephew Jonathan, and I) eventually settled on the area just north of I-80 and east of Lack McConaughy in Nebraska.  Initially, we intercepted a cell moving southeast out of the Sandhills west of Tryon, NE. The storm was elevated, but quite pretty. The storm eventually spit out an amazing roll cloud stretching east-to-west along the horizon.  Thereafter, we trucked it back up the rural road north of Sutherland where we intercepted another elevated storm with a beautiful abandoned farm house as foreground. Another peaceful and beautiful chase day on the High Plains. Overnighted in North Platte.

Hard to believe that some meteorology professors couldn't appreciate such a scene and the amazing learning experience that a day like this provides ... some things are best experienced! But don't you dare tell that to the all-knowing. 

Lapse of scenes.
