Fredrick Muscat - Photographer and Jimmy Deguara on last day of chasing and we lucked out on a close tornado and nice structured supercell in SE Nebraska
All I can say we almost did not chase today but last day of the trip for 2018, we gave it a go with a 7 hour drive. Arrived near Lincoln Nebraska had a coffee and watched as a large cumulus rapidly developed
just to our east. After a close shave with hail we manoeuvred our way to the southern side.I was astonished to see a wall cloud nearby. Finally in position, things ramped up rapidly. From wall cloud to rapid rotation then tornado siren then funnel cloud!. Someone reported a tornado on the river from this. We could not see this!
The storm maintained a couple of wall clouds and continued to threaten tornadoes. This occurred at least 2 or 3 times. The main large wall cloud maintained for… More

WOW!!!
Wow glad you enjoyed the storm! It was a great way to top off the chase
Impressive!!
Back in Australia after this last rush to Denver from Salina, finding a flight delay that would have missed my international connection so asked for and got an earlier one – lucky! Just landed after a bumpy ride.
I would like to thank all the chasers I met including the Aussies and New Zealander contingents But also the other chasers who were nearby!
I would like to thank my cousin for his help in navigation – for someone who has never chased local – (Malta is too small for chasing per se ) he quickly was on the ball. Yes there were a couple of harrowing moments but again this was due to lack of data for the maps. Great job cousin Fredrick. I had a ball. He got a landspout tornado and the Nebraska tornadoes a couple of days ago with me which is quite ideal to be able to get in 2018 within 10 days!
It was tiring with me being the sole driver – I would love to have known what I have driven in my one month
For those asking, this is the video of the perceived wedge but we were close to it to suggest otherwise. https://youtu.be/VPAtEIaZ7B8 Tim Marshall this is the last tornadic phase with pencil vorticies.
