Chasing 60mph supercells through the rolling prairies of western Wisconsin. Not an easy thing to do! We managed to get really close to several wall cloud structures, Rain free bases. Some very promising scud and lowering but nothing definitively a funnel or tornado on this chase. We ran across tornado damage in Arkdale Wisconsin from one of the storms we were on, so It's safe to say one of them produced and we managed to document them before that happened. My camera malfunctioned while filming some of this impressive damage, somehow no data was saved. We saw tons of trees snapped off at about 15 feet off the ground, a farm was damaged and a couple of homes along Highway 21 near Arkdale. Emergency responders were just arriving on scene when we rolled through. We estimate we were behind the damage by about 15 minutes.
