It produced two brief tornadoes, one I missed and the other a multivortex I filmed. A timelapse of insane rotation is included as well as 7 images. July 17, 2010: Watertown, Minnesota Supercell Had a dying supercell come just north of Waconia, and it had some incredible structure just before it vanished into nothing. Later I tried to get ahead of a bow segment north of town, witnessed a powerflash and a pole snap in 60mph winds. 11 images. July 13, 2010: SE North Dakota supercell A last second decision to chase at first appears to be a bad decision but then a storm organizes and nearly produces a tornado and had some impressive structure tracking into Minnesota. There are 10 images in the account. June 20, 2010: Norway, Kansas Bow segment A day with a lot of Potential, storms went up and quickly gusted out, really a waste of an amazing shear day. Stayed ahead of the bow and witnessed a brief tornado on the leading edge of the bow! very odd. Video later. June 10, 2010: Last Chance, Colorado supercell Spent most of the day in Ogallala hoping for something to go up in SW Nebraska, but when hope was nearly lost we dashed for Colorado storms. Glad we did, saw some of the coolest structure of the year at sunset with lightning! June 3, 2010: St Paul, Nebraska supercell Some of the more interesting structure I have seen all year. Nice sunset structure ops, and driving through monsoon cores, then at the end of the day got to witness and photograph some incredible twilight lightning! There are 8 images total. June 1, 2010: Omaha Local HP supercell First local chase day of the year, though it was very tough forecasting where storms would go up, we still got in on some action just a few miles from home! INCREDIBLE green core and CG lightning display, best I've seen all year. There are 7 images in the account May 19, 2010 Western Oklahoma Tornadoes Another big tornado day in Oklahoma, three straight chases with at least 2 tornadoes in Oklahoma! Chased an incredibly structured supercell from its birth and witnessed 3 tornadoes. At the end of the day had a nice mammatus display as well. There are 15 images in the report. May 18, 2010 Oklahoma Panhandle Tornadoes A last second decision chase ends up being worth it! Left Omaha at 11:20am and got to Guyman, OK in time to catch a tornado supercell that produced two tornadoes! Better yet we didn't see any other chasers on this storm. There are 6 images. May 10, 2010 NC Oklahoma Tornadoes A tornado outbreak occurred across Oklahoma and SC Kansas, we chased in N Oklahoma and saw baseball sized hail on the ground, tornado damage, several funnels, 4 tornadoes and some of the craziest motions I have ever seen. Great day! there are 8 images total. April 29, 2010 NC Kansas/SE Nebraska Supercells A day that I wasn't really excited to begin with, but it ended up being the best day of the year so far and the some of the better structure I've seen. Did see a tornado, but didn't know about it at the time, so can't really count it. There are 11 images total. April 5-6, 2010: NE KS/NE IA A couple of hopeful days that turned out no so great. Did get on a tornado warned storm both days though. Tuesday in IA we saw a nice low wall cloud, and got blown around in 50mph RFD winds. Not a real exciting start to the year, but it'll do. There are 4 images total.
