Hail: Pea
Wind: 60 knots
Falling tree branches on car: 1
This was a very interesting chase, as we were close to seeing a tornado, but could not find it. Our target for the day was Norfolk, NE. We left early that morning and got down to near Norfolk. We kept an eye on the radar for a while and before we knew it, there were storms firing to our southwest, one of them which spawned multiple tornadoes on the Nebraska-Kansas border. We drove after the storms and after a while, they started turning to more HP supercells and became more mushy (what a surprise). We then ended up on one cell that we thought may produce, but she did not. After we gave up on that one, another small storm developed to our south but that one quickly weakened. Even though we did not see any tornadoes, we saw some very frequent lightning, a tree branch fell on our car, and we even got some small hail. In addition, the sky looked like sorbet :)

The sorbet-colored sky :)
There was some slight rotation with these clouds but nothing happened.
This was the storm to our south as it was developing.
One of the lightning strikes that I captured.
This was an interesting stroke.
Awesome CG lightning stroke.
I wonder what it hit?
This is totally awesome.
