Today was unbelievable. We made a dash from Texas to Kansas. A bunch a storm chasers were farther north but we were looking at the dryline and the south east moist air flow a decided that the best place was going to be Greensburg, Kansas. It was the best choice. I saw a supercell that was unimaginable. This one did unnerve me! The wall cloud was well pronounced and the rotation was very very evident! It never formed into a tornado but we were extremely aware tat it could turn on a dime.Talk about being on the edge!!! Enough said. We are all thankful that Greensburg, Kansas was spared. They has a horrific F4 go through town a few years back that was devastating. This storm had the potential to do the same. I'll just attach the pics and let them do the talking. In one pic I have my arm out stretched pointing to the rotation. Because you can see my arm it gives a good perspective of how close I was. Essentially underneath the supercell!!
