Home
Mileage: 650 Chasers: Verne Carlson, Tony Laubach, Amos Magliocco, Katie Burtis, Paddy and John from UNC Headed out at 11:00am up I-70 then out I-80 where I caught up with the rest of group already at Central City, NE. It really looked like we would bust when we suddenly had a line of cells popup back to our west. Headed over to NE of Grand Island where we witnessed one of the most picturesque mesos ever. Lots of small funnels and rotation was observed. We let the storm hit us with outflow winds and then played it back east until dark. At 9:41pm CDT we witnessed a tornado on the ground NW of York, NE. Headed south to Salina, KS for the night.
