Wakeeny, Kansas Tornadic Supercell
By Martin Lisius
I started out at my target of Garden City where I watched cumulus tower just to my north. I headed to Dighton where one tower grew into a storm. I tracked it northeast to I-70 where it had developed into a nice supercell, just west of Wakeeny. That storm was overtaken by a new cell on its southwest flank. The new storm eventually produced a tornado near Togo, just north of Wakeeny, which lasted for about 6 minutes, just to my west.
I joined up with the Tempest team and chased another supercell or two, and drove through hail and flooded streets in Ellis where sirens were sounding - although there was no actual tornado threat at that time.
