Wall cloud timelapse and tornado north of Benkelman, NE on Father's Day 2011. Wall cloud was filmed from Hwy. 61, and the tornado was filmed 2 miles east of the highway and 9 miles north of Benkelman, looking NNE.
Nice capture! I was watching it from much further east, with a bunch of other guys, whom I don't know their names. Later, I almost got hit from one that dropped oh-so-quickly from a low-wallcloud at the old abandoned WW2 training airfield north of McCook. In fact, tornadic storms kept on for several more hours thru the evening into night as I drove from McCook to Holdredge. It was plenty scary...you couldn't see much and warnings kept on occurring.
Very nice video! Sounds like someone's playing "whack a mole" at 2.43! I don't blame you, seeing lighting back light a tornado would drive any storm chaser to "whip it into shape", especially on a solo chase! A lightning lit tornado shot is like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of weather phenomena. Whack away is what I say! That was cause for celebration. Great chase once again man! -SuperKirk
