Tescott Wedge
Tuesday, May 1st of 2018 started off with a moderate risk for severe storms being issued for much of western Kansas and the National Weather Service was right to issue such a warning. Later on in the afternoon and evening discrete storms began to fire off all along the dry line and many of them produced large hail, damaging straight line winds, and even tornadoes, like this storm near Tescott, Kansas. This storm began spinning hours before but didn't produce a tornado until around 7:45 pm. it initially took the form of a cone but within minutes grew into a massive wedge tornado that raced across the landscape. Here is an image of it in its final form before becoming wrapped in rain.
