July 18, 2011 Chase

Date: July 18, 2011
Location: Reva, SD
Tornadoes: One (but had multiple vortices that touched the ground)
Hail: 2.5 inches

Hey everyone. I apologize for not uploading this earlier. This is a storm that we chased in Reva, SD last July.  There was some incredible structure that was seen.  A beautiful multivortex tornado dropped down right in front of us and we saw some very large hail.  After that storm was seen, we continued our trek...on an unpaved, untreated road.  That was a great adventure. But the car was alright and we got home safely.
