July 31, 2022 Storm Chase

Iowa/Minnesota

There was a slight risk in Minnesota as a returned from Iowa after a wedding. I was hoping some decent storms would develop on my way home, but none developed close to my route. Later, a storm developed in south central Minnesota, and it produced a funnel that descended more than halfway to ground. One chaser got a video of a few branches getting blown off a cluster of trees below it, so it qualifies as a weak tornado. I thought the southern storms might be the best ones to chase, but I had to get back home by evening, and storms were expected in northern Minnesota, too. Those storms just weren't quite as interesting.

This is the text that appears underneath the picture.
