I chased with Eric Haave a Metro student who is studying meteorology. We targeted McCook NE but once we noticed storms going up to the north we blasted up there and intercepted three separate supercells. We then moved south along the out flow boundary as storms initiated along it. This was when we noticed the storms in Kansas rooting to the boundary and we raced south to intercept but then realized the storm we had left re-intensified. We then moved back to the north and watched an amazing lightning show. All in all one of the top chases thus far with a good friend!

Nice pics! Watched you on SN as I was driving back home from NE last night. Those storms had some of the weirdest motions I've ever seen.
