Tornado Warned Storm between Wheatland, Wyoming - House, Nebraska
This was somewhere a little East of Wheatland Wyoming.
What a memorable chase day it was!!!
For me it started Sunday June 11 at around 11 am. I woke up (and remember Saskatchewan Canada lol) that day planning of continuing photo and video editing from my USA chase trip. Around 11 am I chatted briefly with good chaser friend Craig Boehm, in which in about 20 mins later and looking at weather models.... I grabbed my gear and was out the door, heading towards Sturgis South Dakota!
I got there around midnight to 1 am. Found an Insanely overpriced hotel (which they all are) but I needed one lol!
Woke up the next morning did some models, chose a target, chatted with Craig some more ad then headed to Lusk Wyoming to start this crazy chase day! (roughly 1pm)
Holy crap what a day!!!! Pretty much right off the bat, I Core Punched the storm near Wheatland as it looked on radar like a Tornado was possible to form on the other side of the storm, and HOLY CRAP was there hail !!!!!
It looked like comets falling from the sky, then hitting the earth and exploding on impact!
Softball to Grapefruit sized hail was reported!
The truck looks like (and it sounded like) someone took a baseball bat to it lol!
From there I ran into Michael Phelps on the other side as we witnessed an insane Wall Cloud forming!
The journey continued though all this horrible road network (and heavy construction) seen a couple more wall clouds and possibly a tornado around Fort Laramie (I also had zero data service at this time).
I then played catch up a little after getting though some crazy ass sketchy back roads (that were literally split open in the middle) and then headed to Nebraska to continue!
Caught some literally breathtaking Mammatus Clouds, some wild lightning and then continued to chase throughout the night!
Around 10:30 pm just East of Harrison, I witnessed some AMAZING storm structure with the stacked Shelf Cloud that was moving in!
Shortly after that it became tornado warned!
I ended up finally getting a hotel and finishing my chase around Wed at 1am!
