Storm Chasing 1999 First day I ever chased, in south central Nebraska -- we saw a nice wall cloud with a funnel that turned into a downburst, producing the rain foot in this picture Busted day in far western Kansas... this has to be the skinniest updraft I've ever seen, though it was lit up nicely at sunset My first tornado, highlighted nicely by a rainbow. Texas panhandle, 6/29/99 2000 Only tornado on the three-day chase in 2000, in far eastern Wyoming and from quite a distance (this is right before it touched down)
