8/1/2004 Atomic Cap Chase
Well, I went to Worthington MN, I chased clear blue sky, I busted hard due To An Atomic Cap!
The air aloft was hella warm and the storms just could not fire. But, I did make the best of it and did some photography south of Marshall MN of some cool looking stuff. Notice the clear sky? At least I got to take one of the photographs that I have been looking to get and some more experience with the new camera.

Just got home from yet another storm chase and hunting down some more storm video for The Weather Channel. The lightning and hail was kind of lame but the wind was Hella Cool. I got into some Hurricane Force Winds In Renville County Minnesota that just rocked the truck and trashed on the corn crops in that area of the state.
