Supercell monsters and long return trip
Hello,
currently sitting Julian and I were already in the Atlanta airport and drive us to the 16:25 time, will then go back to our flight to Germany.
Behind us lies a very long drive from the Oklahoma Panhandle to Dallas. Our original plan: the last day (Thursday also) spend comfortably in Dallas / Fort Worth and look at the city, possibly with smaller Shopping deposits. But on Wednesday evening, an amendment of the weather situation crystallized into a "moderate risk" for severe thunderstorms and supercells in Südwestkansas and in the northwestern corner of Oklahoma. So we put everything on one card and took the company stressful on us, Thursday until the afternoon of Dallas to go back to the northwest (good 500 km) and then in the back Thursday night.
Yes, a very nice driving, but it was worth it, because we could observe a giant in the Texas County tornadic cell. This storm was on the structure and in size even more impressive than the Wakeeney, Kansas storm that brought us the last Tuesday of the first tornado.
Since we are both pretty tired, I want to keep this blog post first short. Here, however schonmal some pictures from last night. During the tornado warning for Guymon we were in town and had a first-class view of meso and Wall Cloud. The movement of us and everyone was extremely impressive. It has passed a few miles west of the town for a brief tornado and northwest of our location came down in the precipitate core baseball great hail pads. Later we were south after dark from Perryton, Texas by more heavy rain, lightning and hail up to 3 cm diameter grain "caught".
Ciao, Lars
and Julian
