Storm chasing in the Nebraska panhandle Tornado
Tim caught more severe storms.
The National Weather Service put out tornado warnings on this cell as it moved
south/southeast towards his location. Below
are entries from Tims log.
Sunday, July 1st 2001.

I was nervous for a farm in the path of this storm
which had a history of producing tornadoes. The last thing I was hoping to see was
someone's home destroyed by a twister. I anxiously watched as it threatened this
farm with its violent winds.



I continued to see rapid rotation within the cell
and small funnels would be begin
to worm downward from the base of the wall cloud. Ground disturbance would form
beneath these small funnels and ground rotation became clear and evident, it was
trying to put more tornadoes down. Next
