Storm Chasing ....

Garden of the Gods.


Field in northern Kansas.


Pikes Peak.


Chalk Monument, Kansas (soon to be famous)


Abandoned house, northern Kansas



Starting Thursday, April 24, I started on my mission to storm chase in Kansas or wherever the storms would be for the next few days. I did manage to see one tornado and live, thus I consider that a success. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph that tornado as it was at around 1 a.m. and only viewed by lightning. Location: just outside of Concordia, Kansas. After that date, the storm chasing trip turned into a road trip since blue skies dominated the nation. Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and the not-so-famous (yet) Chalk Monument in Kansas were some of the main attractions. All in all, after about 2600 miles in six days, I feel it was a great exploration. Thank you to my friend, Rich, for accompanying me and keeping me grounded! I can't wait until the next storm!
