Greensburg Kansas
Started the day off in southern Kansas but dropped south into Oklahoma when it looked like the only convection during the day would be down there.
Saw the end of the Woodward supercell and then shot north way too fast to catch up with the storms going up in southern KS. I got into Protection, KS as a supercell had just become tornado warned and shot north out of town. A tornado became visible to my west as I got about 10 miles north of town.
This tornado soon lifted and another would form to my northeast as I continued north.
This tornado would grow into the Greensburg wedge. I could not follow it due to road conditions in the area I was.
