Pecos Hank | Trapped in Path of Tornadic Supercell - Bartlett NE Supercell 6-16-14 @PecosHank | Uploaded September 2014 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Stuck in path of tornado warned supercell. After witnessing multiple powerful tornadoes including the EF-4 Pilger Twins, I intercepted this storm further to the west.

A dirt road appeared to be a short-cut across the path of this tornado producing supercell. When the road ended in open prairie (contrary to the map) there was no escape from the core. A couple trees offered a little protection from hail, but the roads had turned into a slippery joke. After sliding backwards downhill and sideways into the soft shoulder my car was stuck in an area with no cell phone reception and no population. A couple hours later, the Wheeler County Sheriff sent a man with a four wheel drive to tow me out, but he got stuck, had to walk back to who knows where and get a tractor... Eventually I made it out to chase back, to back to back days of epic tornadoes with horrible alignment issues.
