First of 3 videos of my first storm chase ever(7/9/08 - 7/13/08). No, I didn't see a tornado, but I saw some other fun stuff.
If you are wondering, I didn't go unprepared. I had planned a chase well in advance. I am also an advanced-trained Skywarn spotter. I've also seen a lot of chase videos and learned what and what not to do (doesn't say much, I know).
...And all of that didn't prevent me from becoming stupid and eventually jumping my car 3 feet into the air trying to catch up to some storms.
This first video (7/10/08) is outside of Wisconsin Dells, WI at an interstate exit (I-90). I was talking to my dad when a bowing squall line came up. Nothing much but wind and rain.
I have better pictures of the leading edge of the storm (shelf cloud).
