Day 1 - Storm Chasing Lost Images

Outdoors at Hart's!


The setting sun on Day 1 as we headed north to catch the big storm.


Day 1 included a great drive from Des Moines, IA to the south central part of Kansas to Pratt. A smaller town with all of the charm, we actually ran into some "professional" storm chasers that were waiting for the ignition for all hell to break loose. Professional or not, we were all losers there. For some reason or another, the storm decided not to flare up while we were there. So, we grabbed a bite to eat at the soon to be world famous Hart's Diner which had all of the charm of a 1950's diner. The food was great, the people were friendly, and the bill was cheap. Who could ask for more?! From there, we decided to venture north where the energy rolled out of the Rockies and was already producing some sizeable funnel clouds. Unfortunately, we knew we were going to get there late, we just didn't know how or what we would see.
