Chasing the storm

It was just the sort of day local storm hunter Ryan Crouse dreams of. On Sunday, (July 12), there was a warning of tornadoes and a storm between Yorkton and Melville, and he went looking.

It was just the sort of day local storm hunter Ryan Crouse dreams of.

On Sunday, (July 12), there was a warning of tornadoes and a storm between Yorkton and Melville, and he went looking.

And as he said in an email to Yorkton This Week, “Yowie, wowie, what a view!”

“The models for the day were showing the most potential was South of Regina (Weyburn to Estevan),” he explained. “I was seeing decent potential a little later between Fort Qu'Appelle and Yorkton.

I am glad I went with my gut this time and stayed put because WOW! did it pay off.

“What a stunning storm!

“Shortly after the beautiful structure, I was in the rotation recording over 105-kilometre winds.

“Fantastic short chase day.”
