June 10th 2010

Well what a day this was, I had been waiting my whole life to see a fully fledged tornado and today was the day.

​

There were some uncertainties as to where we might head, we decided to play the upslope flow across eastern Colorado once more.  A storm developed to the west of Limon and moved in a ENE direction.  

​

This storm had phenomenal structure as well as producing two lovely tornadoes into the evening.  I screamed with tears running down my face, I had finally achieved what was a life long goal.

This will be a day I will never forget.

​

After many years of trying in 2010 I ventured off to the USA to storm chase in tornado ally.  2010 had up until this point been a very very active season and would continue to do so over the coming weeks.

​

With decent upslope flow across portions of eastern Colorado, Wyoming and south western Nebraska this was our target region.  We watched as a couple of strong storms formed, one with a nice wall cloud before slowly dying.  We headed further north and intercepted a beautiful LP supercell across north eastern Colorado late in the day.

​

It was a fantastic taste for what might lie ahead in the coming days.
