Chase Summary Page 5

The sun was beginning to set, but we wanted to get under the updraft of our storm, because it began to pulsate. So we sacrificed great sunset pictures as we began hauling ass to the supercell. We had to go into Kansas on 281, and at that time I managed to take those pink updraft pictures with Jim's camera as the sun set. We went east on 160 then took some smaller paved roads and stopped to take some lightning pictures. Our storm merged with another storm to the north and the resultant storm showed a nice wall cloud and good rotation. The storm later died. We could not see much lightning to our SSW, so when our storm died we began the drive home. We could not get a signal from the weather service on the
scanner, so we had no idea cells, especially tornadic supercells, were just to our southwest.
