Well, I can tell that there are a lot of chasers out from the Spotter Network in Kansas right now. Plenty of people moving around cells.

Definitely on days like this. Split-second decisions are needed along with high-quality radar and scanners. These aren't small funnels from the sky. These are potentially violent, destructive and deadly tornadoes.

Went up on the parking garage to snap a few pics but the mammatus are gone. Looks hazy and nasty as hell to the southwest. The core will likely miss us; I'm more worried about the ass end of the storm, which is angling our way.
