Dustin Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nothing very impressive out of SW Ohio this afternoon. We got on the front-runner storm near Wilmington but couldn't keep up with it due to the crap road network (general rule of thumb: east of I-71 is basically pointless for chasing). I took a few good structure shots with my chase partner's camera and have a video of us sampling a nice hail core (somewhat on purpose ) that I may post later if I get around to it.

Chicago Storm Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, the first chase on the season is what I would consider a success and interesting... I made it to my initial target of Creston, IA by mid-afternoon. As a supercell approached Nebraska City I decided to leave town and head west. This is where issues began with my GPS, live stream and internet coverage. I was able to find Route 34 and head west. I eventually made it to Route 71 where I sat for a bit as the supercell that was near Nebraska City finally approached. I spotted the initial wall cloud to my NW, which was be a few miles north of Stanton, IA. I then moved a bit north on Route 71 to get a better view on the storm. By this point the initial wall cloud had dissipated and the storm was moving overhead. At this point I was near Morton Milles, IA...I let the cell pass, sat and took pictures and then began playing the tail end cell from the main tornadic supercell. I then proceeded to head east on farm roads before stopping again for more pictures. At this point I saw some interesting looking cloud features/scud off to my NE. I was in a lower area so it was hard to see what it may be. After reviewing some pics/video and other chase reports it would appear that this is where the Massena tornado was and that if I had been on a hill I would have seen it. After seeing that the southern tail end cell wasn't doing anything I once again continued east to try and make a play on the supercell approaching Creston, IA. I was almost due north of the cell wen the first tornado was reported. I was never able to fully get ahead of it until it was weakening as it approached Osceola, IA. Going back and looking at pictures/video and chaser reports I once again realized that if I was on a hill looking to my SSE I would have been able to see that initial tornado. After making it to I-35 I found a hill near New Virginia, IA and watched as the line of severe storms associated with the cold front approached. This line featured a nice looking shelf cloud and the lightning was spectacular...probably within the top 3 lighning shows I have witnessed. Even though I missed two tornadoes by a bit I was fairly happy with the chase given it was the first on the season and the technical issues I had. Here are a few pics and video...
