Chasecation 2015 Day 4 – From wedge to wimpy

After the mile-wide EF-1 wedge tornado last night, we were hoping for a second miracle storm in Kansas to save the day.

Unfortunately, we ended up on some messy storms in central Kansas, with no tornadoes to be found. We did end up in a tornado warning west of Lindsborg, but nothing came of it.

At least we were able to leave the storms early and get into the hotel at a more reasonable hour. I have been going back through pictures and video to process a bit while I have the time. Below is a lightning shot taken well northeast of Pueblo, CO back on May 22nd.
