An outbreak of severe weather across the high plains prompts severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings from Wyoming into Kansas where over 200 severe weather reports were generated. In this video package by BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach, it shows a discrete supercell that formed on the Wyoming side of the Wyoming and Nebraska border.
This storm system tracked over 300 miles and generated hail up to baseball size as well as several weak tornadoes. It moved across four states with it starting out in Wyoming and then moving into the Nebraska Panhandle, clipping northeast Colorado, back into Nebraska and finally ending up moving into Kansas.
Video opens up with footage in Hitchcock County, Nebraska right along the KS/NE border as hail up to golfball size was falling in front of the Welcome to Nebraska state sign on State Highway 25 about 15 miles south of Trenton. Video continues with various shots of large hail up to 2.25″ in diameter falling on the roads and vehicles. Final shot of first part of the video shows Tony holding spiked hail up to 2″ in diameter.
The second half of the video includes footage from around Sidney, Nebraska which is in the panhandle along Interstate 80. Video shows various storm clouds and then continues to show a weak tornado called a “Landspout Tornado” that developed 2 miles south of Sidney on the south side of Interstate 80. The video continues showing more of the hailstorm on Interstate 80 and State Route 19 southwest of Sidney.
Tony shot some interesting footage as hail covers NE-19 south of Sidney where the hail is several inches deep. Tony compared the hail compared with a tennis-ball and measured on a ruler to 2.25″. After the hail fell and started to melt, in the field in front of Tony it became covered with another rare event called “Hail Fog” where the air close to the ground cools down to temperatures much cooler than that of the surrounding air.
The video ends with footage of a rainbow while driving. Tony said he was chasing the rainbow.

Please help us find the owners of this German Sheppard.
I found this German Sheppard on Highway 15 and Interstate 94, just south of Saint Cloud, Minnesota while driving home after the storms that hit on Sunday night 7/10/2011.
She was in the road and I stopped to see if she had a name tag, to bring her back to her home since she was in a very dangerous road, she did not have a name tag on her collar.
She is extremely friendly and jumped right in the back of my truck when I opened the back door for her. I did not want her to get hit by a passing vehicle on the road so I took her with me into town to look for the owner.
I called the one person that posted a lost and found on Craigslist for a German Sheppard and met up with them but this was not their dog. They did agree to take in this dog to try and help find the owner and bring her in to scan for an RFID tag.
They did say that they were called about this dog since they lost their dog in the same area that this dog was found and it was left at a farm a few days ago about 10 miles from where I found it so I can only assume that she is trying to find her family and her way home to the southeast towards the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metro area.
If you recognize this dog, please contact us and I will put you in touch with the person we left her with.

Severe storms hit central Minnesota with large hail, high winds, heavy rain and street flooding in the Saint Cloud, MN area.
BNVN Weather Paparazzi Doug Kiesling was tracking the tornado warned storm that hit the Saint Cloud, MN area this afternoon. No tornado was spotted but large hail did hit holiday travelers on Interstate 94 heading up to northern Minnesota. Hail up to two inches fell over the interstate and turned it into a parking lot near Saint Joseph, MN.
The main show with this storm system was the heavy rain and high winds. The rain caused major street flooding in Saint Cloud under the Highway 23 bridge at Tenth Avenue. A car was stranded in the high waters under the bridge.
Just to the north of downtown Saint Cloud was where the real damage happened. Dozens of trees were blown over and hundreds of trees were damaged by straight line winds from Highway 23 and Ninth Street to the Mississippi River.
The Saint Cloud Fire and Police Dept had to shut down several streets due to downed power lines. At 10th Avenue North and 8th Street a downed tree ripped out a natural gas line to a home.

Footage of Richard Sharpstein, the Miami attorney, for the Florida International University baseball star Garrett Wittels and his friends, Jonathan Oberti and Robert Rothschild, going into court and after court when the rape charges were officially dropped.
The three young men, represented in the Bahamas by Thomas Evans and present in court Monday, were accused in December of sexual assault at Nassau’s Atlantis resort by two 17-year-old girls.
“It’s over. The fat lady has sung in the Bahamas,” Sharpstein said. “This diabolical scheme to ruin the names of these young men and extort money is over.”
The defendants never denied having sex with the young women. Security camera footage appeared to contradict what the women told Bahamian authorities.
