4/23/06 chase pics

Well, it was a close chase for me tonight atleast. I was on the tornado warned storm that approached Lawrence before I called off the chase after the storm moved through Lawrence. I had some good structure when I stopped at the airport just northeast of town. I then moved east a couple of miles and learned that the storm had dove to the south so I tried to backtrack to get to it. It wasn't a pretty sight to see when I emerged through the hail core. After one pretty badly cracked windshield and one detached rearview mirror later due to atleast tennis ball if not baseball sized hail later I decided to call off the chase and drive the two miles back to my apt.

Also, a huge thanks to Dick McGowan and Jeremy Goodwin for the nowcasting!
