Cell closing in on Hutchinson, Ks is trying to get its act together
I spent the better part of two hours on the back of this one tonight. Did something really weird just south of Gypsum. It looked like it was trying to be a funnel cloud but it wasn't rotating and there wasn't anything definitely attached to the base but there were a bunch of super low hanging clouds real close together in the classic cone pattern. Only stayed that way for maybe 45 seconds but I had never seen anything act like that before. Kind of looked like someone trying to make a tornado out of Legos. It tried to form a bit of a wall cloud by Abilene when they put a warning on it but it never really had its act together very long. Still it was probably as good of a strom as any to chase in Kansas today.
Every once in a while I'll poke around in a neighboring state but I'm usually not real crazy about it. I've lived in Kansas my whole life and I have a pretty good idea which county roads you can go down and which you can't. I don't have that knowledge for any other state and it makes a difference. Even tonight a county road that is normally a good shortcut to take had a bridge out for construction and was closed which made me take an unplanned detour through the residential section of Abilene.

Yea having the knowledge helps a lot. Also helps that this state is incredibly easy to navigate since pretty much everything is laid out in a grid. Even in the cities it’s almost impossible to get lost,
I’m jealous that seemed like a fun one to track. Looks like the keeper did its job for Wichita again

It's not so much a matter of getting lost as it is a matter of knowing which roads stay paved and which turn to gravel or worse, You don't want to get in a situation where you have to outrun something on a road designed more for a covered wagon than for a car or truck.

In Choctaw now. Lights flickering here so its likely the power issues down south and maybe switching stations? I didn’t get those big winds and my power is underground (my neighborhood is all underground). But its above ground from power station to our neighborhood about 3 miles.

Probably so. You'll get some good wind from that if you're in Choctaw.
