Yesterday, I chased a developing MCS in west-central Illinois near the town of Virginia, IL. This MCS featured a very photogenic shelf cloud throughout the evening before dissipating shortly after sunset. This shelf cloud was one of the most picturesque I've seen in quite some time in this area. I've posted my chase log and photos on my blog. Posted: Travis Carlson--TornadoVortex.net 07/25/10
This storm chase featured a strong cold front across west-central Illinois that produced a damaging wind event across much of Illinois. I photographed a shelf cloud from this squall line near Woodhull, IL. I later arrived home to document some serious damage at my residence and I've added those photos as well. Photos from this chase day can be found on my blog. Posted: Travis Carlson--TornadoVortex.net 06/28/10

I photographed a surprise supercell on this evening. This supercell developed from a remnant MCV (Mesoscale Convective Vortex). I chased this supercell through the town of Bradford, IL and a local wind farm near Camp Grove, IL. I've added some photos and a time-lapse on my blog.

07/12/10--New Bedford, IL Supercell
Last Monday, I chased an outflow dominate supercell along an outflow boundary near New Bedford, IL in west-central Illinois. This storm never produced a tornado, but provided a few good shelf cloud photo-ops along the Illinois landscape. Chase log including photos from the day can be found on my blog.
