Storm Chasing in Colorado and Kansas

May 10 - 27


While I was in Denver I was stationed there with another pilot who was a bit of an amateur storm chaser. So we went out one day and got some shots of a hail storm in Ft Lupton, Colorado.

All the white in the picture is hail and it was so deep on the road that it scraped the bottom of the car as we drove through. After the hail storm a heavy rain came through and melted most of the hail. All of the farm fields became rivers, draining into the next lower farm field.

On another day we drove into western Kansas and chased a building storm cloud which actually ended up producing a tornado.
