I decided not to head up to Nebraska with the team, because I would have had to drive 600 miles at least to get back to the airport for my flight. The tornado outbreak that was on the cards transpired and they all got caught by 120 mph flying debris in a gas station. All shook up and both vans damaged. I would have then had to drive all night , if my car wasn't too damaged. I went to try and catch what was local. I went up to Dodge City, Kansas and then over to Liberal, Kansas to intercept some storms coming in from Texas. Unfortunately they fizzled out as they came into the drier air. Nice sunsets though. I fly home tomorrow so will post some of the tornado shots when I get home.
As I set out to intercept the storm the wind was kicking up a dust storm As the storm got closer I could see the anvil cloud closing in. Unfortunately it had started to die out as it got to me and left a pretty cloud. Took some time in Dodge City to get grandsons a tee-shirt. The storms can wait for some things.
