July 13th Lac Qui Parle and Yellow Medicine Counties Minnesota

My chase partner for the day, Dave Drufke, took this shot of the base of the first severe cell of the day north of Montevideo, MN

Little wider view of the same storm as we head west to catch the end cell.

Updraft and base north east of Canby, MN on the storm we wanted.

Storm rapidly gusts out east of Canby, MN

Rainbow on the back side

A lot of crop damage east of  Clarkfield MN.  Some corn was 50% flattened in areas from the down burst.  Tree damage to the groves also.

The usual reward of a days chase...another fiery sunset.  I will never get tired of seeing these!
