May 15, 2009 Ray and Carroll counties, MO severe storm

May 15th, 2009 by Bill
We got up somewhat early on the 15th and headed for Kansas City.  Storms went up
early a little west of Kansas City, and we waited for them on the Missouri side.
We wound up chasing a severe-warned cell near Richmond, in NW MO, and that cell
moved into Carrollton, where they sounded the sirens.  The storm was in linear
mode, though.  There were a couple of attempts to wrap up a bit (northwest of Carrollton)
and we thought that there could be a tornado chance, but it didn't work out.  Early convection
usually means a lousy chase day, and that was the case on the 15th.  We ended up
back west near Ottawa, KS, in a heavy downpour courtesy of a squall line. 

HEY --- the pictures are going WAY off the page!  I broke the Internet!
