We started in Des Moines IA, after having met up with the Canadians Mark, Dave & Sarah the night before. Here's Mark in front of his impressive chase vehicle. |
Hmmm...so THIS is where they keep the DOW trucks when not in use! Taken on I-35 north of Des Moines. |
CRACKER CARNAGE! We stopped about midway to the MN border for some data. Chris did NOT do this to these poor animal crackers. They were already there. |
Heading north towards Mankato MN towards a developing linear mess. |
We stopped near St. Peter MN for a look see. Someone's dog obviously found us! He apparently found us very interesting to hang around with. |
Here's Mark & Sarah. |
Ah yes, outflow. The wind had been howling out of the S at around 20 mph, but when this arrived, they switched to the N and got VEEEERY cold! |
I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP! |
|
Here's Dave Sills videoing the approaching gust front. |
We're about where the cursor is. I was amazed I got a full Verizon signal here for data. |
Not a great storm, but some nice views! |
