April 29, 2022 Tornado - Dillon, KS

            My chase partner Eric Goodman and I did indeed see a real live tornado on April 29th. We decided on our own dry line target area, stuck with it, and actually got out that way early enough to see the storms initiate for once. Even though we missed out on the Andover tornado, we were happy with our little dust cloud of ground circulation under a beautifully backlit high based supercell. Not to mention we didn't have to fight Friday evening traffic through Wichita to get there.

This broke my 3 year and 13 day tornado drought, due in part to my typically sporadic schedule with the railroad, lack of decent setups within spur of the moment striking range (see sporadic schedule), and the overall boring local season the past two years.

For the first time in a while it looks like we might actually have an actual severe weather season ramping up, so we'll be out more this spring. The grain elevator at bottom left is located in downtown Dillon, Kansas. A bustling metropolitan area; it is located along the ROW for the Missouri Pacific Pueblo Line, abandoned in the 1990's.
