May 29, 2008 Kearney, NE/Glen Elder, KS
Chased with a plethora of folks during the course of the day including Blair, Burtis, Pietrycha, Magliocco, and Fritchie observing two tornados and incredible structure across southern NE/northern KS. Began the day in Kearney, NE with CI taking shape across NW KS/SW NE. Intercepted the first cell southwest of Elwood and followed it back toward the Kearney area, pulling east of it as it approached the city with incredible storm structure taking shape. A bowl shaped lowering developed at this point, with occasional power flashes and dust/debris witnessed as it moved through Kearney. As the storm moved east, it became fairly wet, taking on hp characteristics. Decided to abandon this area and make a dash south for activity across northern KS. Eventually caught up with the storm which moved from Stockton to Osborne, west of Beloit. Observed a multiple vortex tornado which moved close to the town of Glen Elder taking on many shapes through its lifecylce. For all practical purposes, ended the chase at this time as the storm raced off to the northeast.
