Just plain crazy?

Storm Chasers! Once again Kansas was pounded last night with severe weather including one inch hail, winds gusting over 55 mph and up to four inches of rain in one hour in some spots. When the storm front came in the temperature dropped 25 degrees in just thirty minutes.

Storm chasers from the Discovery Channel were in the area to do their thing and they drove through my little town headed for the storms that were just north of us heading our way. Being the wise man that I am, I too was out and decided to get a few photos of my own. :-)

A vehicle completely covered with steel plate, do you think it comes with a DVD player and fold away seats?

This is a shot of what they were headed into. I brightened it up a little in photoshop to get a little more detail in the clouds.

This is a shot of what it looked like just inside the storm line looking back from where I just came from. It was dark enough that I tried this shot with a flash to try to pick up the green in the grass. Once you crossed under the storm line it went from clear and bright to almost pitch black. Then the rain and hail came and it was time to head for the house!

All is well now and according to the weather forecasters we are supposed to have clear skies and sun the rest of the week. Like they really know what the weather is going to be a week from now!
