Tornado Alley

Tornado Alley Chasing 2007

Although 2007 did not provide the most classic tornadic setups, for those who decided to chase were able to intercept some reasonable storms and tornadoes. In all, Jimmy Deguara intercepted several tornadic supercells with at least 7 confirmed tornadoes (and not including the massive Greensburg tornado and others still to be investigated). The supercells in some cases provided excellent photographic opportunities.
13th April 2007 - although not on the Seymour wedge tornado due to road options, the storm produced a serpentine funnel from the developing tornado. Later on approaching an HP supercell near Fort Worth dangerous giant hailstones prevented an intercept of yet another tornado.
21st April 2007 - intercepted a very large truncated tornado in southeast Colorado SE of Lamar. Extremely rapid storm scale rotation was observed with this storm wrapping rain hiding the tornado from view. Another funnel cloud was observed further north though contact on the ground could not be confirmed.https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6565483752503740244#editor/target=post;postID=5639136141116942788
