Not really known for tornadoes where I live, but with the 5% risk in my area today, I got a hunch and decided to try and go for my first storm chase today.
Got a hunch on a cell that was pulling ahead of a line of storms coming from western MD. Was on a track pretty much straight towards Winchester, VA so I hauled down there and setup just south of where it was tracking. 5min later, it got warned and was confirmed. I wish I’d picked a better spot, though. If I had pulled off the ramp at the next exit north, I would have had a crystal clear view for it, but oh well.
Got some nice pictures of the rotation and a bit of the structure and the inflow and a little bit of green. Pretty stoked that my hunch paid off and I got to see a tornado producing storm for the first time in my life. Wish I could have seen the funnel, but I think it was rain wrapped anyway.
