Stopped For Circulation

Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes the countryside to the northeast as storm chase driver Ryan Alliss surveys possible tornadic circulation in front of our vehicle, stopped on County Highway E16--a quarter-mile east of 180th Street and 3.75 miles west of Schleswig, Iowa around 7:55 PM, Saturday, April 9, 2011. After a few minutes of checking our situation along the roadside, we resumed driving and just under 8 miles later ran into stronger RFD winds to the northeast at Keystone Avenue and 330th Street.
