Back in Great Bend, Kansas after the last day of this multi-day marathon. We missed the Pratt tornadoes by several minutes unfortunately, but we certainly were not the only ones. Did see some good hail east of Greensburg that took out the windshields of three of the four vehicles in the caravan as a hail shaft made a quick appearance as we sat along side the highway observing the storm. I was actually switching tapes in my dash cam after capturing a brilliant dual lightning strike to which I hope turned out well as it hit dead center in view.
Anywoo, it looks as if we're going to skip out on the frontal play tomorrow and return to Denver for a couple of days. Its been a very exhausting last few days and a couple nights in my own bed to recharge will be welcome. A load of laundry wouldn't hurt, either.
We sit 400 miles from Denver here, so I expect to be home by mid-evening tomorrow assuming a slow paced departure. Not sure what kind of timeframe I'm looking at for chase logs for the last few days, but I have gone through more of the video to pull stills on a few other tornadoes I didn't get my Nikon on. I'll get those posted at some point in the future, but not making any solid plans to pull those out when I get back.
On a final note, I had some cell phone issues which prevented me from getting text messages. About 930 this evening, a flood of about 30 came in starting from some point yesterday. For those who sent me texts in the last 24-36 hours, I wasn't ignoring you; up until 3 hours ago, I never knew you dropped in. I'll get caught up at some point here soon!
With that, goodnight from Great Bend!
