Where Is Wxman

WxMan – has made a BIG error !!!!

I am at home right now in the UK crying into my laptop at the setup I missed over Nebraska last night – why does this always happen on the day I return?

More over, tonight Iowa is under the gun – expect BIG tornados to form tonight and tomorrow. See the SPC forecast page (time sensitive)

Tornado outlook/

On Monday I filmed a very powerful stovepipe tornado in Kansas. This was actually quite interesting as I had to “core punch” the storm in order to get a view of the tornado – think of intense rain, golf ball sized hail, and winds > 60 mph ~ zero visibility. After clearing the core I arrived to see the violent tornado on the ground less then 300 meters away from me, heading straight towards me – putting the car into reverse (fast) I was able to grab a few precious seconds of video of the tornado. Sadly this video was not good enough quality to be able to sell – dangit!!

Oh well roll on Hurricane season.

As one of my friends would say "You're a worry"

Good work, just stay safe!
