Congrats to Team WeatherBug. Our clients are chasing tornadoes in the Midwest and moblogging it. They finally spotted one yesterday after nearly a week on the road.
From WeatherBug ...
Today was a great day! We tracked a storm from its beginnings as a small cumulus cloud crossing the dryline, to its development into a full mesoscale system complete with two funnels that lowered several hundred feet out of a wall cloud before they dissipated back up into the cloud. Fortunately for the farmers and residents of Dundy County, no tornadoes touched down.
It was a thrill to behold. Megan's Boston accent finally came out as she kept repeating "This is wicked awesome!" We captured great video and photos. A few are included below and some in my photo album that you can view at right. Take a look!
