My annual storm chase was shortened when I got in a car accident the first day out , ending up in an OK hospital with a broken finger and lacerated head. After 5 days in a motel in Clinton, OK waiting for my car to be fixed, I managed to salvage some of my plans by chasing a couple days in Kansas. Here are the highlights from OK and KS, including several tornadoes from Central Kansas on May 25.
lightning from a supercell started this fire.

An EF-2 tornado rips through the town of Lacrosse, KS at night, May 25, 2012. Lightning provided the background illumination--my emergency blinkers lit the roadside.
