Northern Oklahoma Severe Storms

Chase Recap:

I had the day off as I was getting ready to pack for Indonesia, but the severe threat to areas of Oklahoma City and to the northwest into Kansas were quite good, and definitely worth a drive to possibly southern Kansas.

I finally finished packing and getting ready for my trip around 3 pm and loaded up the truck and headed north. Storms were already starting to fire soon after I left the OKC area and headed up I-35. Storms went up near Dodge City, and most definitely Dodge City area experienced some of the worst of the damage as 80 mph winds blew apart structures and brought tree limbs down.

I headed towards Enid then northwest to Cherokee and the Kansas border. I ended up setting up right on the Oklahoma/Kansas border north of Amorita, OK and shot video & pictures of the shelf cloud coming at me. Because we’ve been so dry, it brought with it quite a lot of dust.

I stayed ahead of the storms and shot quite a few shelf cloud pictures, and some lightning pictures.
