Severe Thunderstorm in Kokomo, Indiana with Severe winds, Hail. April 26, 2017.

Finally into springtime! And April 26, 2017 was a day of interesting spring weather, as a thunderstorm complex originating in Missouri traveled northeastward into Indiana and initiated additional convection ahead of it. One of these more individual thunderstorms impacted Kokomo that evening, and brought with it severe winds, hail of dime to nickel size (estimated at our location), and EPIC clouds!! Although this day was remembered for severe weather here, we are nearing the one month anniversary of a tragic event in the storm chasing community. On March 28, 2017, three storm chasers were involved in a vehicle collision just west of Spur, Texas. In a shocking and terrible event, Kelley Williamson, Randy Yarnall, and Corbin Jaegar were all killed in the crash. It's a loss that still leaves a hole in the storm chasing community, Kelley and Randy were great chasers who inspired many and in doing so potentially helped to shape the future of storm chasing, and Corbin Jaegar was a rising chaser who would have become better known in the coming years. My thoughts and prayers are still with their families and friends, and with the people who worked with them and were fans of them.
