Hill City Tornado

Date: 22 May, 2007
Location: Hill City, Kansas
Filmed by: Chase 1

A tornadic supercell near Hill City, Kansas. A large hail shaft blocked a safer southerly approach, forcing Chase 1 into the bear's cage on the north side of the storm.

As they emerged from the hail shaft, a large funnel formed.

This storm was the subject of a very large chaser convergence, including the TIV of Discovery Channel fame (referred to as "the tank" in this video).
