So of course if there's a Tornado Watch three hours or less from you, you have to chase it! The dryline was very nice in e Co with 30Tds at Limon and 60Td at Burlington. I got on this storm north of Burlington, CO around 5:00pm MDT. The inflow was intense out of the southeast lifting dirt off the ground and lofting tumbleweeds.

Once I got up next to it it was showing a nice LP barberpole structure and visible rotation aloft...

in 30 minutes it pinched off, and it was gone! Great to get out in a red box in September!

Just when I thought I was the only chaser on that storm, LOL! Also chased that LP supercell (probably along the same route as Verne). Caught up to the storm just in time to get a few structure shots before it fizzled out around 6:15 MDT: http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s132/jmerage/e218c26c.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s132/jmerage/8170784e.jpg
