Arrests In Marshall County Ky

Flash Flood, Tornado warning and Haboob

Hello,

the last two days offered again very exciting and diverse weather. Rarely can you name within less than 48 hours 31 ° C and dusty roads and 13 ° C in the downpour, bright sun with gusty south wind and severe storms, including severe dust storm to do so close to each other, as was the case with us.

On Memorial Day (Monday) on which they do in the U.S. those killed in the last war and the veterans began the day for us in McCook, Nebraska. A Slight Risk issued by the Storm Prediction Center and we presented a strong storm, possibly one or two super-cells. The wind shear was somewhat weak in the chest, so it should probably be more storms, especially the cool, strong downdrafts were determined and less of rotating thermals, tornadoes and the like.

Well we went yesterday for a sociable chat with the tenants of one of Days Inn Motel in McCook (for delicious sandwiches were also the same time exchanged contact details) about noon on a lonely highway north through the hilly, fairly barren landscape. With strong southerly wind blew over again flat clouds approaching from the south, there were also first with a few cirrus clouds little to see. Julian and I took the time to get to brown a bit and to look out for any animals. Soon, however, was located southwest of our observation site, a small cluster of somewhat stronger Cells.

These cells, more specifically, a thick version, moved very slowly and it had formed on the flanks of this storm ever new storm. Finally gave the National Weather Service out for the whole region, a flash flood warning, since it was from heavy rain and flooding. We tried the meantime, come north to North Platte and drove even after the Interstate 80 West. As it turns out that from the west meet is not as much, and should the storm here in the near time and again formed, we decided for a ride back toward McCook. This option led us in the middle of pure Flash-flood history, After a while the waters came down from heaven so close that we could not see 20 meters wide. Left and right gathered in the meadows and fields of water, the sky was dark gray to brown and always flickered somewhere above us flashes. Even some hail was present us we needed a good 30 minutes to get out of the cloudburst once again come out.

some point we had it then made it and we watched from the South Rim ago on this (with cold air blowing in our direction) system, as we heard about the weather radio that within a few hours not far from our Highway, 175 liters of good rain has poured onto the square. This affects unfortunately were not only rural areas but also a few villages in the area.

developed the evening, on the southern and southwestern edge (for the Mets: thanks LLJ) strong new cells and a tornado was even bewarnt. We have seen up close. Effective display worked its way out for about 15-20 minutes a circulation, but the air was in the vicinity of the storm from the previous rain rather cool and stable, there is nothing out of the tornado warning has become. It was great to watch, however, as the cell is very short time increased and the flash rate was higher. Again and again hammered into the ground and blinding flashes.

Later that evening we were offered more cells a fireworks display, as I have rarely seen. It reminded several strobe lights, which flickered like crazy ... Unfortunately there are no photos, but later still videos.

On Tuesday we made our good time in a new "target area", this time it looked like the morning after data from storms in southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado. So we went to a small breakfast (which was attended by a Stormchaser Tour of Roger Hill, with over 20 people) to the south in the direction of Garden City, Kansas. Once there we found at least a strong southerly wind and shallow cumulus clouds, the air was very dry (dew point: 14 ° C) to the west and there was not even more, but even fewer clouds. Something was wrong and that new data check confirmed our feeling that has Slight Risk is sometimes just shifts it some 200 miles northwest. After supercell saw it first in our region now from no more and so we drove back north, angry, but the weather can not always look to the cards. Colorado, meanwhile, already went through it around with several severe storms and tornado warnings a few. All of these storms should continue in the following hours walk to the east and southeast Kansas gene.

On the way to the northwest via Interstate 70, the radio beeped again and Weather There were several warnings of gale force winds and hail from a huge line. The same edge we reached the small town west of Colby, and it was all over western and north-west jet black. This roller was moving at 50 km / h to the east and the wind blew in the gust front so severe that vast amounts of dust and earth torn up and shipped across the landscape were. This whole storm front slowly changed to the dust storm and the sky was eerie brown.

In Brewster we were on a small gas station and it was promptly run over stormy, cold and dust was everywhere, in enormous clouds he flew over the landscape, the wind picked up and pulled at signs and bushes in nearby power lines, it howled.
thundered After an initial vulnerable phase, then a few gusts over our site and other materials were pulled up in dust, soil and small stones. On video you can see the dynamics of the whole good, wait for the cutting of the clips but it still needs.

After a while we headed back on the road to the east (also out of concern wg to our equipment. Dust) and tried to get out of the system. Much later succeeded to us also and we ended up again in Hays, Kansas. The line was now at 23h still west of the city, while We quickly with gusty south wind and humid 20 ° C bought something next to the motel a few beers. In the view of the radar was clear, one of the most intense part of the over 200 km long line zuhielt exactly Hays. At this point I must mention that we have at our tornado last Tuesday in Hays have already experienced a severe downburst (case gusts in thunderstorms) with 120-140 km / hr. If there are similar this time? The warnings sounded so gusts exceeding 100 km / h were possible. After a few minutes it was already going on then, only with dust, then downpour. The water was lashed by surges in the city, the peak gusts were around here at 103 km / h.
News
blows it out there are still violent, but most of it is due. Even if it was not enough for a tornado (there were five reports today, but only very short-lived events in Colorado), so it was a pretty impressive Chasing.

second to Dallas to Nebraska

Hello again,

since Friday has been particularly physically with us again been a lot. First of all, the story of the (possibly) toxic spider in the car has done. But one by one. After our long drive to Dallas on the night of Thursday, we were extremely tired at our motel, slept like a couple of times Hour (about 9:30 to 12:00 noon, on average) before we look at the nearby Whataburger indulged in a little lunch. On the night way through Oklahoma, we crossed the cold front and on Thursday we were in Dallas in the humid Gulf of Mexico air at boiling cumulus clouds, and about 29 ° C with a dew point of about 20 ° C. The shearing was down here in North Texas but much smaller and also the dynamics of the trough was not to be compared with the previous two days, but promised the cold front passage from the northwest to get interesting. First, we use four times but the myriad of shopping opportunities from Dallas / Fort Worth and looking for a monstrous mall with name Grapevine Mills. This about 240 shops comprehensive area you can roam all day long and you do not notice how fast the credit card begins to glow. Well, as bad it was not ;-).

While we were at the mall on the road, we noticed in one of the six or seven main inputs, such as the sky darkened outside quickly and it was very windy. As soon as we were in the parking lot, it turned out: the cold front was there and brought them still interesting weather. It was not long before we took the decision, sometimes a few miles to drive across the metro area and the squall line us a closer look. The cells subjected to this very slowly and soon we alerted the Weather Radio on Flash-flood warnings for parts of Arlington and Fort Worth. After two days of heavy storms and supercells there was almost a bonus that is still connected torrential rains with numerous lightning strikes in the urban service from Dallas / Fort Worth. Within minutes it haute down about 30 liters per square meter and even the oversized drains (which according to rumors probably know this, a whole small car will be gone) created not the rush of water masses. In some places the cars were floating through the streets more than they drove.

spent after this wet experience Eric, Felix, Julian and I recent evening together in one of the best steak houses from Haltom City, near Dallas and celebrate our holidays and our "catches" the last days. On Friday morning we Felix and Eric finally brought to the airport, you Urluab was unfortunately too late.

Julian and I hastily changed after the car, not only because of the spider, but also for reasons of space. From then on we were in a Nissan Murano through the land and the same again on Saturday in the far north to Kansas. The last night we spent in Hays, a small town in the northwest of the state. Due to the Memorial Day weekend, the motel search designed on the eve of the way, very difficult. Not only that all motels in Wichita, Kansas (one City with over 400,000 inhabitants) were fully booked, no, we still had to up to Salina, Kansas, and spend quite overpriced for about $ 85 (!) A night. Well, today we went quite quickly from Hays in the southwestern corner of Nebraska and thus a new state on our list. For this region it was from the Storm Prediction Center, a "slight risk" and in the course of the afternoon were formed in strong south to southeast wind and about 29 ° C and initial cells. We also went and found it still a nice lake in the middle of rolling prairie. To swim but was hardly any time, for soon the storm covered with heavy rain and some hail from.

gave the evening then north of the small town of McCook are some very photogenic storm, coupled with a beautiful, colorful sunset.

morning (Monday), Memorial Day, we are again under a "slight risk" for severe thunderstorms. Previously expected at about 30 ° C and violent south wind still an opportunity to give tan :-).

Ciao, Lars

Protein Tablets Side Effects

supercell and lightning show of superlatives

Hello,

after a several-hour trip on the last night we are on Thursday morning all quite exhausted in Fort Worth, Texas arrived. Why are we so far have been equivalent to the South, I will explain later in yet. First I would like to get closer to our readers, but first the events of Wednesday. After the violent storm on Zentralkansas in the night to Wednesday have eventually subsided, we are on Wednesday morning after securing new refueling and shopping (you would not believe how fast food such as water, fruit and biscuits can be re-used up) by Great Bend in the direction Northwest Oklahoma broken. There was our "target area" for the day, even the Storm Prediction Center has the area Südwestkansas, Eastern Texas Panhandle and issued for the northwest Oklahoma a Moderate Risk, which is a moderate risk for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

About Dodge City was about noon, to the southwest, and finally south to about Buffalo, Oklahoma. It is a very small town that is just like the other places where aar surrounded by endless plains and red rock formations with shrubs. South of Dodge City, we crossed it in the meantime become stationary front, which among other things on Tuesday in Kansas brought the storm. South of the front we were in the early afternoon between Ashland, Kansas, and Buffalo, Oklahoma again with strong gusty south wind 28 ° C in warm and humid air.

Since we are in this very sparsely populated region has no Internet data available were and auh the NOAA Weather radio only occasionally got a signal, we had most of the time rely on our eyes . The sky was the afternoon in Buffalo with thick clouds covered and rather hazy. Other Chaser talked with us along the road and we briefly discussed the situation. After a short time put out that we were exactly the right place, because a Suerzelle has become a little southwest of us and we were able to mighty anvil . Recognize For example in the small town of May we saw the upswing in all its glory and quickly developed a rotating wall cloud, our first of the day.

The clouds sank further and further down and ragged clouds were rising from the floor on her, but for a tornado, it would then not enough yet. Soon, the powerful become Southeast wind shifted to west and was much cooler, a rather bad sign. For a while we followed the storm, the weather service was now provided with a tornado warning, to the north. Next to us, gathered a few other chasers, including the "Twister Sisters" the hunting of a larger TV crew was documented aufwänig. The first cell of the day and weakened a little southwest came right after a new storm, which, while a wall cloud, but produced no tornado.

after a navigation error that led us on a dirt road (here Mudroads), and in quite a while to the north, we decided finally to the south of the now cooled and cloudy 'area south to the northeast Texas Panhandle (on the Map of the "panhandle" in the northwest of the state to break) by. We succeeded quite well so we could watch the evening near Follett, a new super cell (To the Mets: a huge HP storm). West and southwest of Follett, we faced a huge thunderstorm with dark gray or greenish color, and many Naheinschlägen.

Finally, this storm moved past us and we turned back east and then to the north in order to observe the onset of darkness now that cell or other storms. We did not wait long, because our cell went blithely on his way to Harper and Beaver County, Oklahoma, and delivered an impressive lightning show.

We went then to the north in the direction of Laverne and now there was something sinister. In the darkness went west of us to a supercell with tornado warning to North-east. On one side we could see again and again in the glow of the flashes a marked decrease in the updraft clouds (Wall Cloud), hammered on the other hand, a few miles away from us big flashes in completely dry weather in the world. Now it was at night and with little data, a very high attention to preserve, so there were no surprises.

Soon the storm was approaching and it strikes followed in the vicinity, some so bright that the trail of the lightning had burned for some time on our retina. After a few minutes we met with a strong tail wind and rain we were once again just to the east from the cell.

presented a short drive east of Buffalo found that we were dealing not only with the tail wind, but with really strong storm and the wind was as seen from our location with views to the east from back, but suddenly from left and about two clock was formed a new wall cloud. This was a very dangerous situation, we were close to a possible circulation and we had poor visibility. It only took a few minutes until the radio was issued a new tornado warning for the exact same cell ... The cell

but moved slowly away to the northeast and we followed close behind at the next opportunity to finally escape to the southeast. After a 40-minute drive towards Woodward then we tried to 1:30 in the morning in Woodward to catch a motel room. Thus, we had bad luck, the whole town was fully booked and the West threatened a massive squall line. The mood was almost spooky, as we could in the entrance area a motel in the west of the city observed in strong southerly wind Geblitze constant over the whole western sky ...

It took about 20 minutes before us this complex is then squalls, torrential rain and lots of lightning crossed. Since we really Woodward had no longer an option on a motel room and turned out to also had that has taken root since the evening a potentially poisonous spider somewhere in our car (and we would pass in those so of course nothing around wanted!), We decided for a long drive to Dallas, where we could check in for luck as early as Thursday morning at 9 clock in a motel in Fort Worth. It was very interesting 24 hours ...:-)

We observed the tornado north of Wakeeney, Kansas, the storm then the room Hays, Kansas. There were just after our arrival in the evening after nine clock even the sirens, as the west in a cell of the place strong rotation has been detected. Fortunately for the residents, the Tornado has not materialized, but a storm raged over the place with up to 140 km / h at cloudburst and hail. We had looking at a gas station protection. Meanwhile we sit in a motel in Great Bend, Kansas, after we were able to observe several hours drive from Hays here several times to golf ball size hail, fog, and storm Dauergeblitze.

storms in the Oklahoma Panhandle

Today's 21st May brought after a long period of waiting exciting weather. After yesterday we friends in Arkansas City visited (even there it was a fantastic BBQ including delicious U.S. beer),

we went last night far into the west from Kansas, more specifically, in the western town Dodge City. Even in Arkansas City on Sunday was blowing at warm 27 ° C, a gusty south wind and the air humid and sultry slow.

blew in last night then in Dodge City is a strong southerly wind blew, and this morning low clouds sweeping with a breakneck speed across the sky. So weather is observed on or before days with severe storms often. After a side trip to Wal-Mart and the Radio Shack (electronics store) went there on Monday morning from Dodge City to the south towards Canadian, Texas.

On the way there we found only a few villages, but however much prairie, scrubland and cows :-). The wind was even stronger during the day and was blowing in Canadian finally so violent that were regularly swept clouds of dust on roads, paths and parking lots. Advertising signs and trees were wildly back and forth. After a short period of waiting (and a few burgers for the team) then went west very fast thunderstorms in the air, only 10 to 20 minutes grew 10 km to the clouds above. We drove the cells from the southeast and put her to us because of the instability and wind conditions in the atmosphere is a strong storm cells with much smaller and hail. A short time later it was ready, just north of Perryton, the alarm started our Weather Radios and the first warnings were issued. Then pulled out a squall line (for the Mets: probably small Bow) from southwest to east to northeast over the endless open countryside and turned things including the following impressions.

total of three times we could roll over us, both with wind and hail up to 2.5 cm Diameter, and later violent lightning strikes. Also a few other Stormchaser were traveling and we greeted each course each time :-). The storms of today are but rather a "starter" to what is expected on Tuesday in many parts of Kansas. We are excited about what we offer is mother nature.

Chaserparty at Rocky Rascovich

Here we go again and this time we will get out of the beautiful Norman, Oklahoma. Norman is a university town south of Oklahoma City (OKC short) and the seat of most forecasting and research centers for meteorology and especially for severe weather.

two nights "resided" we in our own cottage, nestled in a nice park Everybody has their own bedroom, there's also built-in kitchen and two TVs anyway. Yesterday we went to Piedmont not only on the way through OKC, but also in the small suburb. Takes place there every year a large Chaserpicnic in which a bunch of known US-Chaser in burgers, breakfast and Dr. Pepper (and similar) sitting together and exchanging views. A highlight was the numerous, sometimes really fantastic videos Stormchaser-celebrities such as Jim Leonard, Scott Currens, or Olivier Staiger (also called klipsi). About 60 people were there yesterday and offered us for the first time the opportunity to chat with our "colleagues" here in the States and share a few experiences. Needless to say, almost, that the play chase in the Plains often in a different league than we in Germany. The location of the party, the home of Rocky Rascovich is only located on the edge of the metro area located in the middle of the prairie, in addition to the extensive grounds with pool's right over his own paddock. The area is due to its location a tremendous vision in all directions and Rocky's wife told us right from the close encounters with some tornadoes that distinguish them from could watch their garden already.

This Sunday we are visiting friends in Arkansas City, Kansas, and from tomorrow we will go more or less in a strong chase mode, for the next three days promise exciting weather supercell potential of Nebraska to North West Texas

Fun in Tulsa , OK

Hello dear, patient readers of this blog. In the last two days we have allowed ourselves to take a little of other things and the blog was a little calmer. But now we want all the readers not deny what we on Wednesday and Thursday have been doing. Advance a few words about the weather: we still are in the range of a high wedge (or simply high pressure area) and shall, in the central and southern Plains for friendly and increasingly warmer weather. But there is a change in sight, because on Sunday is particularly noticeable in the northern Plains a more active weather. The us is then expected to bring storm on Monday and Tuesday, possibly supercells. So let's wait until then stretched and make the right holiday!

And we celebrated after a brief stay in Wichita, KS like a real American Barbeque (abbreviated BBQ) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There lives a good friend of Eric, a Munich, who lives but for some time already in the U.S. (the first in Dallas, now in Tulsa). And if you ever have friends from home in the area, then it must be celebrated the same :-). So they met on a warm, friendly Wednesday night and enjoyed a delicious selection of steaks, grilled potatoes, Caesar's Salad, Fried Beans and ice cold Budweiser.

Tulsa, formerly the most important oil city in the world (with lots of "old wealth"), offered us so many attractions that we immediately decided to spend another night. Not only do our hotel directly on the Arkansas River, and next door to the River Walk is a nice location for the evening going out there, no, the city offers, of course, so some shopping, so we spent much of Thursday in an air conditioned shopping mall with over 150 stores. The result: our case not to go back, it's in our wallets now more room. In a city course there is always ways you can make the evening interesting. First, we treated ourselves to a tasty, Mexican dinner on the river in the suburb of Jenks, and afterwards a visit to the scene-district Brookside in Tulsa. Taxi driver Morris then took us in the morning to half past two on the Hotel again ...

On Friday, it now goes to OKC, the State Capital of Oklahoma. Learn more about the gentle reader will in the coming days.

Ciao,
