After the late night of chasing lightning, we all woke up late. Only just having enough time to looking at the data we where in Bellevilla Kansas, our target area was over 450 miles away in SE Wyoming. With no time spare we didn't spend much time getting into the van and moving.
It was a long trip, Martin got pulled over by the police near smithson on route 36 in Kansas, he is now the proud owner of a warning ticket for speeding. Once into the Nebraska panahandle things where starting to look good and we all had a good feeling..
By now we where As we got close we could see a text book lowering, the formation was good, it had a tail and was solid. Just at the point you would expect something to happen the tail broke off, then the center colapsed. Taking a glance round the storm was breaking up, so we desided to make some miles back into the area for tomorrow and hopefully see some lighting on the way.
