July 22, 2007:

I decided to pull the trigger at the last moment on this chase. Storms to the north of Ames were beginning to get their act together, so my fiance and I hopped in the car to have a look. We headed north on I-35, and turned east on Hwy 20. Our target was Waterloo, IA. When we got there, we observeda storm with a wall cloud. This storm dumped large hail on the Waterloo. As the storm moved east, it quick died and the sun was beginning to set.


West of Waterloo, looking east.

Approaching the storm.

The storm is beginning to die.
