Okay, so the season wasn't THAT
amazing, but it's VERY clear why the DVD is titled how it
is!! We managed to pull some very good days out of an
otherwise so-so tornado season. And then there was the hurricane season...2005 was the most active on record, and for our annual hurricane chase, we just happened to pick what would later become the worst hurricane ever to hit the US -- KATRINA. I feel very "fortunate" to have been there for this historic event, but at the same time it was awful witnessing the destruction of mile after mile of beautiful coastline.

| EVENTS COVERED: | |
 |
MAY 7: Tornado "thing" near Kearney NE.We're still not sure what this was, but it sure LOOKED like a tornado! Great storm structure & lightning show later on that evening though. |
 |
MAY 8: Two discrete cells in northern KS
merged into a big MCS with an amazing "whale's
mouth" at its forward flank. MAY 9: Down day with our obligatory visit to the Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City KS. We saw Charles Edwards and Cloud9 Tours there too. |
 |
MAY 10: Huge outflow-dominant mothership supercell north of I-80 near Grand Island NE. |

MAY 12 does it again!! The now infamous S. Plains TX gorgeous tornado and car-crushing hail. See as our only escape route is blocked by downed power poles and we're forced to endure softball hailstones! This is the same footage featured on the Storms of 2005 DVD. |
 |
JUNE 11: Vigorously rotating supercell near Amarillo TX. Nice structure, but outflow dominant once again. |
|
