Wow!! Great work. It's a sad time for our storm chasers right now. Stay safe dear Jason. VF
Jason Politte replied:
Indeed it is - even for those former chasers like myself. Thank you for the sentiments, Christy.

Great capture! These scare me...I am in Florida...we have hurricanes, but we always get advance warning...I couldnt live where these form.
Jason Politte replied:
Thank you very much, Sharon - yes you're right, with hurricanes, you have plenty of warning time compared to tornadoes. However, Florida sees tornadoes and waterspouts as well. Just not as significant as the tornadoes of the Great Plains. Thanks again!

Sad story but great capture, Jason!

Thank you. It is indeed a sad story, as the little hamlet of Manchester, SD is now dead.
