Welcome to Rainy Day Storm Chasing  
Cold Air Funnel 
A "cold air" funnel disrupts an otherwise sunny Iowa afternoon on August 10, 2006. Although it looks rather destructive, there was minimal damage reported. Unlike most cold air funnels, there were several on this day that did touch down.


Dust devil 
A chase on May 6, 2008 began with this "dust devil" pictured above, in Northern Boone County, followed by some strong cloud rotation near Story City, IA. This was ended with some very heavy rain in the Boone area, upwards of three inches in about an hour.


Chase season is underway, although the upper midwest has seen more heavy rain than severe storms...so far.
I am currently working on building a new iowastormchaser.com website. It is an "in my spare time" project, but hopefully it will be up by the end of May.
