- We began the day in Amarillo and
- decided to play the somewhat
- marginal chances in SW KS.
- We caught up to this storm
- near Keyes in the far western
- OK panhandle.
|
- It was clearly outflow-dominant
- but we weren't expecting much
- today anyway. The gust front
- kicked up massive clouds of dirt.
|
- The SW winds sliding along the
- NE/SW oriented gust front
- generated many gustnadoes.
- This one crossed right in
- front of us.
-
|
- Another gustnado.
|
- This gustnado was spinning pretty
- intensely. Looks almost like the
- outer edge of a tornado!
|
- The 50mph NW winds picked
- up everything in their path and
- blew it across the road.
|
- Then this massive gustnado formed.
- I've never seen one so violently
- spinning! Looks like a wedge! :)
-
|
- This was reported as a tornado
- by some folks...from our vantage,
- it was right along the gust front
- with no apparent connection to
- a meso (I don't think there WAS
- a meso).
|
- Later on in Beaver County, the
- southern storm on the line
- developed what looked like a
- meso structure...but it
- gusted out hard as well.
-
|
-
|
- The storm offered up some nice
- sunset pictures though!
