Just had this forwarded to me:
The MSNBC crew was also downtown this morning and in Hays doing stories about Vortex2. Many crews and storm chaser vehicles came to Hays over the weekend as part of the Vortex2 project.

It's always exciting when the Discovery Channel tornado chasers set up their headquarters in Hays during the summers. Given a clear blue sky, the chasers are patient with the kids crawling all over the TIV2. (As they pointed out, if it can stand high winds no 9-year-olds are going to do it much harm!) The chasers answer all kinds of questions from the kids and the adults. They've emphasized the importance of kids taking as many math and science classes as possible if the kids want get into that line of work.

Meanwhile, here's more dust and wind from Kansas. Oldie but goodie, but maybe you prefer thunder . . .
