Down day in Wichita KS

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 14th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Photography.Local


Since the severe stuff was to be in west central TX today and central KS tomorrow we decided to not yoyo up and down I-35 and instead headquartered here in downtown Wichita for the day. The downtown area has been revitalized and is a very pleasant place to spend time.
I've been reviewing video from last night and have captured some very interesting frames from the last video segment I shot after dark. Looking south, the top two frames appear to show a wide feature resembling a wallcloud, and the bottom frame contains what looks like a powerflash (circled) that is not in any of the several hundred frames I've examined. This storm did produce a suspected tornado about 45 minutes after we abandoned it, and these frames may be proof that the tornado had formed while we were watching. Interesting...and another reason we don't chase much at night. None of this was visible to the naked eye!
