Another image of the better tornado we saw yesterday. Ended up seeing two actually. The second one was weird in that it had rapid rotation in the wall cloud above it (we were nearly right up under it) and multiple dust whirls spinning around each other underneath it making it, by definition a multiple vortex tornado, but the tornado never filled with dust nor condensed to be visible from the cloud to the ground. Still though, a nice catch.<\/p>\n

It was kind of cool after they aired the Live shot of the tornado on KCBD to get a call telling me we just made television history in Lubbock being the first to shoot a tornado live on the air in the Lubbock market.<\/p>\n

Later as we headed back and took a look at a high based storm that had gone over Lamesa and dropped some big hail (which damaged one of the other KCBD Storm Chase vechicles heavily) we came across a massive hail path on the south side of Lamesa.<\/p>\n

Stopped to play with it a while and take some pics. Later ran in to some of the crew shooting the next Discovery Channel Storm Chasers TV special in Lamesa. The got their vehicles damaged pretty good as well. Ended up going back south to take some more images (below). Anyone lose a golf ball?<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone that followed along and watched the LIVE ChaseCam yesterday and SPECIAL thanks to those that donated to our chase gas fund!<\/p>\n

We are chasing today (Thursday) in Kansas and I will be posted a chase forecast here shortly!<\/p>\n
