Gorgeous formation with zero stamina from yesterday’s Nebraska storms from Scottsbluff to Mullen and more say tornadic activity from late afternoon through midnight.

We had another encounter almost the same time last year or the year before but the cloud dropped more north of our block and travelled north northeast.

This one was a bit more exciting and nerve wracking because it dropped by the monument and came STRAIGHT at us. Even doing spotting every year for like 6~ years now I still get that anxiety when it’s a bit too close to home. 😆

Tomatos in the garden do NOT appear destroyed by the hail we got after fortunately. Hail wasn’t too destructive just solid enough to make the gunshot shatter sounds on strikes, lol.

😅 The biggest danger tbh was the stress of corralling 5 dogs and 1 cat into the basement as sirens are going off.

The jelly bean tomatoes appear to have been the main casualties.
