Chase log and photographs copyright Melanie Metz and Peggy Willenberg 2006 Twistersisters.com

Under the meso!

First touchdown (see cone funnel and debris underneath)

Tornado develops and quickly becomes rain wrapped

Tornado crosses the first road

Tornado crosses the second road!

As we get closer the tornado ropes out in a field just to our ENE

We continue to chase NE

Second tornado of the day!

We enter SW MN and chase another tornado warned cell

Funnel develops over us and then dissipates as darkness approaches

End of the chase...in Western MN...not too far from home!
