May 24, 20179 yr I'll have to get the chase car ready... We can take my truck...then we can put the thing-a-ma-jig with the little balls in the back. Don't forget your laptop.

May 24, 20179 yr I got this footage of a funnel cloud last night in Jessamine County: Funnel cloud spotted in Jessamine County
May 24, 20179 yr Here's some "raw" footage of me trying to drive and stay on the funnel cloud at the same time...while listening to the Goo Goo Dolls Twitter

May 24, 20179 yr Might be a funnel. More likely a low hanging skud. I leave that part up to Chris Bailey at WKYT. He said there was rotation on radar and it appeared to be a funnel cloud. I only know enough about it to read radar and keep a safe distance :lol2:

Every storm is different, so it could have been enough to spin up a quick funnel.

Every storm is different, so it could have been enough to spin up a quick funnel. As somewhat of a new (and learning) storm chaser, it was exciting to have something other than rain, hail or lightning. I have now seen one tornado and one funnel. It's exciting but then again, I love storms and weather.

Had actually just finished coaching a little league game :lol2: There wasn't really any way to get closer because it happened so fast. It dipped down for maybe one minute.
