September 14th
Northwest Texas
I left Atchison, KS at 7:15 am with
the initial target of Altus, OK. Around 2:30 pm, I received
a call from Eric Nguyen and Amos Magliocco. They were
targeting the triple point at Childress. At 4:00 pm, I
stopped at a rest stop outside of Quanah and used the free
WiFi to check data. Convective initiation was occurring
along the dryline between Crosbyton and Dickens. I targeted
this convection and intercepted a classic supercell at
Dumont. This cell quickly transitioned into an HP and
weakened. As the HP weakened, a new supercell formed over
Guthrie. It was moving NE into a void in the road network so
I decided to flank it. I went north to Paducah, east to
Crowell, and south on HW 6 toward Truscott. NE of Foard City
I drove through the heaviest part of the core. As I passed
just east of Foard City the winds shifted form NW to N and
then to NE. I knew the meso was close but I was still in
heavy precip and wasn't sure if it was completely rapped in
rain. The winds increased to 30-40mph out of the NE.
Just as I made the decision to flee to the north, the
wallcloud became visible through the rain. It was to my SW
and moved just south of my location. The low hanging
wallcloud then moved to the east of my location and
developed strong rotation within several funnels. At 6:08 pm
a loud waterfall/jet engine sound was coming from the now
bowl shaped lowering with periodic funnels on its NW
side. Moments later, 60-80mph wet RFD started rocking my
Chevy S-10 significantly while obscuring the tornadic
circulation from view.
During the event, I was about
80% confident a tornadic circulation was on the ground.
After reviewing the video, I am now convinced that it was in
fact a tornado. The video shows funnels repeatedly forming
on the NW side of the meso then wrapping into the middle of
the meso. Although none of them were clearly on the ground,
I think the half way to the ground/conservation of angular
momentum rule applies.

September 12th
Southeast South Dakota
I observed a relatively weak supercell
northwest of Yankton, SD. After sunset this supercell became
highly electrified with continuous intracloud and cloud-to-air lightning. The only other time I have seen a storm this
electrified with intracloud/cloud-to-air lightning was storm
B on May 3, 1999 near El Reno.
