Shelf Cloud, Lightning in Southeast Kansas [June 1, 2009]

Footage taken near Parsons, KS.

The beginning features a shelf cloud coming right over me.

It was amazing to see, much better with my own eyes than seeing it on this video.

Awesome shelf cloud footage! I think I was out on this day chasing!

[AvidForStorms]

Thanks! That shelf cloud astounded me.. haha. I'd be surprised if you weren't out chasing that day! I'm going to check your new video out in a little while :P

Was that the day of all those tornado warnings in the early afternoon?

Yes I believe I chased three tornadic storms that day near Girard, KS, Pittsburg, KS, and into parts of SW Missouri! I think I saw that same shelf cloud too when I was up near St. Paul, KS

I'm not quite sure.. I don't really remember much about it other than the part where I was chasing. haha.

I'm playing some PS3 now but I'm anxious to check out your winter storm vid!

@interstateruler No tornado, but yeah, this was part of a severe thunderstorm. I don't know what the wind speeds or hail size were, though.

[interstateruler]

I thought I saw a tornado

[interstateruler]

That's probably a severe thunderstorm. How fast was the wind and how large was the hail?
