- Chase Area: Eastern Colorado
- Amos Magliocco, Dave Fick, and myself targeted E CO hoping something
would fire on the boundary. Instead, the boundary washed out and we were watching
storms developing not to far to our NW near Limon. We raced north to I-70 and
blasted west towards the Limon supercell. When we arrived, the storm had matured
into violent supercell with baseball hail being reported on I-70 west of Limon.

- Violent Supercell - Limon, Colorado
- As we approached, we could tell right off the bat the structure would
be great on this storm. Softball sized hail was being reported on I-70 just
northwest of Limon, Colorado. Despite tornadoes being reported, I knew the structure
shots would out weigh any tornado shots I got, so I raced back east to keep my wide angle
shot of the storm. Towards the end of the sequence of photos, the storm was
approaching Arriba, Colorado, as it moved southeast.

- Stacked Plate Supercell - Flagler, Colorado
- I caught back up with Amos as we watched this stack plate supercell
move southeast towards Flagler, Colorado.
-
- Night-time Supercells - Kit Carson, Colorado
- After the storm dissipated, Amos, Dave, and I went south to Kit
Carson, Colorado, to find dinner. We found a nice country dinner place to eat.
After dinner, we went outside and saw a striated LP supercell off to our west with
a lot of lightning. We drove west of town and shot stills for about an hour.
What a way to end a perfect day! We stopped again that night to observe more
storms in the Colorado Prairie. You can see the stars in the last two shots.
