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.
