Intense storms moved across eastern Kansas with a tornadic storm hit Reading Kansas and moved into the Topeka, KS metro area. BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was in Topeka, KS with Team Twistex for Discovery Channels Storm Chasers as the storm was dropping hail up to tennis-ball size as well as tornadoes north and east of town.
In the video that Tony shot of this storm, it starts out with a wall cloud and funnels as storm moves across the Topeka, KS metro area. The opening shots show a large funnel churning away behind some trees near Interstate 70. As the video continues, it shows a rapidly rotating wall cloud almost directly overhead on the northeast side of Topeka. The storm chase had to stop as tree’s were blocking the path and traffic was forced to turn around.
As the video continues it shows some intense hail from the tornadic supercell that fell around Topeka, KS. The footage include various shots of hail falling on the highways with vehicles driving through it. A shot of people blocking an I-70 overpass hiding from the hail. The footage ends with video of storm chasers holding large hailstones to show how big the hail was.
