June 21, 1998
This was a great day for me, my first successful chase.
Date: 6/21/98
Parthers: Myself(driver and Pat
Cheresnick, my mom
Miles: about 120
Summary: A typical afternoon
thunderstorm day in Eastern Colorado. We followed a storm east from
near out house and found a little landspout.
The
Chase: We saw storms fire up along the front
range like most days in summer in Colorado. Today they were pretty
strogn, so when I got home from work we decided to intercept one of the
just SE of Denver. We folowed it east a litte while, and saw a landspout
about 20-25 miles east of Denver. The contrast wasn't great for
pictures, but it still counts as my first tornado ever. We watched it
for about 5 minutes, and then it dissipated. Here are pictures from that day.
