For our group’s first chase under the Tacoma Chasers name, it was a little bit of a rough one in terms of the lack tornadoes, but the structure and lightning show during the event across NE IA and NW IL made up for it very well! #wxtwitter #ilwx #iawx

Stripping away "the cloud" to visualize a supercell's anatomy, there are several take aways... 1. Downdrafts are not steady state features! 2. SVCs can contribute to *LLMC* enhancement 3. RFD surges may "collect" & converge vortex patches beneath the LLMC

my first storm chase yesterday 04/02 storms started firing around 1 pm in south western Iowa @Beanrock1241 saw a single cell with energy all to its self and stuck with it. Although i didn’t get to see a fully condensed tornado I did get to see @ReedTimmerUSA and his dominater 3

Team Dominator let it rip in #tornado intercept mode with two tornadoes chased from close range in Iowa! We could have easily intercepted the second tornado for science, but the traffic was too bad. It’s like Mario Kart out there in #Tornado Alley these days

One of my best storm chases ever across south-central Iowa today including my 30th tornado near Washington! #wxtwitter #iawx @NWSQuadCities
