Back home from #AMSMadisonSummit! Honored to have been given a presentation slot during the ICECHIP panel where I talked about some preliminary findings on observed and simulated hydrometeor size distributions. Countless fantastic talks and posters made it an incredible experience.
Saw the most intense tornado I've ever seen yesterday east of Dwight, IL! I took this video between 6:23-6:30 CDT, positioned about five miles south of the tornado. Hope that all the people affected by the outbreak can make a quick recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCh6...

What a day! We scanned a rotating wall cloud S of Presho, SD with RaXPol, but had to abandon it just before tornadogenesis because it was coming our way. Two PIPS were deployed in the storm’s path. We also saw the last few seconds of the Ideal, SD tornado as it spun down out of the rain. What a day!
