Last Updated on Sunday, 10 January 2010 00:54 Written by Roger Hill
August 25 was a day that gave me more than I bargained for. A supercell complex developed north of Goodland, Kansas during the afternoon and slowly drifted south. This complex had numerous tornado warnings and produced at least 2 confirmed tornadoes. One I was privy to witness, the second I was unfortunately privy to feel. This storm also produced 90 mph winds and copious amounts of hail to golf ball size. Check out the photos below.
