WKU Storm Chase Wrap-Up

Since our last update, we managed to see a few more great storms before our return trip home. On Thursday, we chased all day in North and South Dakota. Early in the day we watched line of strong storms form right overhead near Hettinger, North Dakota.

We continued heading south for the rest of the day and on our way to Spearfish South Dakota we stopped to get some awesome lightning pictures around sunset.

The next day severe weather parameters were not all that high at any location so we took a travel day and headed to the Badlands in South Dakota.

Saturday and Sunday were not the best chase days but we did get some great shots of a few storms. Here is a picture of an isolated storm in Lusk, Wyoming on Saturday.

Here is a picture of an elevated severe storm in Athol, Kansas on Sunday.

This would mark the end of our chasing and we headed east to Salina to drop off Dr. Dixon and then we headed east ourselves to the hotel in Boonville, Missouri. Yesterday we woke up early and drove from Boonville to Bowling Green and returned to campus. After 14 days traveling, 6 states covered, and a total of 8,311 miles (avg. 547 miles per day) we have returned from an amazing storm chase. Thanks for keeping up with us!
