June 11, 2011 Chase

Tornadoes: 0
Hail: None

Well, not a lot happened on this chase. We met up at noon and drove down to Chadron, NE.  We waited there for a while but nothing was going on. We then drove to Alliance, NE and then eventually made our way back to Chadron after we saw a decent storm on radar.  However, this storm did not do anything.  We then drove north into South Dakota and entered the Allen area, which is the poorest area in the country (and I thought that Detroit was ghetto and spooky enough).  We then decided that the chase was over since everything turned into a big linear mess (again) and headed home.

On our way back to Rapid City, however, there was a nice storm coming in.  I was able to get some lightning on video as well as a few shots once I got back home (but only the photos are included in this blog due to technical difficulties).
