We have compiled a radar loop with audio of some of the first National Weather Service Flash Flood warnings to help better understand how the storms lingered over the same area.
The Radar loop from KEWX starts at 7:00 AM on July 3rd, 2025 and, continues through July 4th at 7:38 PM when the storm system begins to move out of the area.
The times listed on the upper right portion of the screen are in ZULU time. You will need to subtract Five Hours to get the correct local time for the area. (I.E. 12:03:57 Z = 7:03:57 AM).
The Green boxes that appear on the screen indicate the areas where the National Weather Service has issued Flash Flood Warnings.
Hey everyone, Doug here.
I’m still reviewing the 5 hours of footage from Saturday, but I wanted to share a short highlight time-lapse video of what my 9-year-old daughter, Laura, and I saw of the tornado outbreak near Clear Lake, SD, on June 28, 2025.
This was her first time accompanying me on a storm chase, and it was one of the first real chases I’ve been on this year, as I haven’t been able to chase much due to family obligations. She counted seven (7) different tornadoes touching down before sunset.
It is safe to say the next generation of storm chasers will be amazing.
She even outdid me on the “Fn Wedge” comment from the Quinter Kansas tornado I shot in 2008, with a brand-new tagline that will make all the veteran chasers nod and salute because “Oh Dude, It Destroyed It, It Just Destroyed It!!!!”
