The first Nebraska chase

Hey Nebraska! Wake up and get ready! Season's here!
We hooked up with Pete McConnell of http://www.severewxchaser.com/ yesterday for a romp around Nebraska and it proved to be a great day! The day started out normal enough near Miller, Nebraska, but soon, we were in Hastings after picking up KHAS TV Meteorologist Travis Klanecky and Channel 5 reporter Adam Lefkoe.




Hours into the day, while heading into Giltner, Nebraska, Zephyros lost a rear window to hail, we lost side mirrors, lost lights, got wet and had an absolute blast together! The greatest reward has been watching it on the Weather Channel who picked up some of the footage from our outing!




Pete was great to travel with and we enjoyed having both Travis and Adam along for the ride. All in all it was a great day and really got us excited about the possibilities of this year's season.




This was Cheyenne's inaugural run in her own vehicle and it has officially become a chase vehicle with repairs to be made! Congratulations Cheyenne, not everyone can get that much hail INSIDE their rig on their first run!
