Storm Intercept Summary

   This event started with me sitting at home, and watching the weather radar computer.  It paid off when a supercell thunderstorm formed East of Chanute, Kansas.  I quickly loaded up my chase gear and headed for Southern Bourbon County, Kansas.  The supercell was slowly moving east, and I intercepted the storm in extreme Southeastern Bourbon County near Birch Road and 200th Street.  I was able to get a few photographs of the rain free base and associated wall cloud.  The wall cloud was approximately two miles from my location, and I could not see any lower level rotation within this area of the storm.
    I followed this supercell storm as it crossed the Kansas/Missouri State line.  The lack of decent roads in Southern Vernon County, Missouri, made the remaining chase very difficult.  I ended up near Moundville, Missouri, where I finally had to give up this storm chase.  I did get some really good photographs of the supercell's anvil top as it moved off to the east.  I did not see any tornadoes with this supercell from my vantage point, but I believe that a tornado had been reported on the ground south of Fort Scott, Kansas.
