A night to remember
Monday was a day that I knew I wasn't going to get to the best primary target -- northeast Nebraska -- in time. Having a day job gives targeting a lot of factors that go beyond pure forecasting; i.e., can I get this time off? Can I repair this Macintosh computer that just came in in time to be out the door to get to the target?
This photo is from around 10 miles east of Burwell, Nebraska. I followed a dieing storm up north of Kearney and ended up at this secondary target -- which became a beautiful HP supercell. Beautiful and HP supercell are terms that rarely go together, so this storm made me very happy. I have time lapse of this storm, too -- which I am glad for, because as ominous as this photo seems, the sense of amazement for nature's power only grows when you realize that this entire storm is spinning like a top.
