Last night BNVN Weather Paparazzi Brandon Ivey was chasing a severe storm in Barton County Kansas that produced pea to quarter size hail along with heavy rains and high winds.

At one point in the storm it was an LP or Low Precipitation, where you can see more of the storm structure that is normally obscured by the rain. Brandon reported that the storm dissipated at sunset.

Severe storms formed near the foothills and I-25 corridor Tuesday afternoon as BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was there to witness the torrential rains in Colorado Springs, Colo, leading to flash flood warnings as 3-4 inches of rain fell in about an hour's time. The storm was severe warned and even tornado-warned for a time, but no tornadoes were reported.

Video package opens up with two shots of low shelf clouds on top of Cheyenne Mountain west of Colorado Springs. Next shots are POV shots driving through flooded roads along Powers Blvd. on the east side of town.

After POV shots, a very cool shot of a BMW driving into on-rushing waters as the water gets pushed up and over the hood. Following shots of store keepers trying to prevent water from entering their buildings. Various other shots of traffic in the flood waters along Powers Blvd. Package ends with generic water shots.

This storm was part of the line of storms which caused the extreme turbulence and forced United Flight 967 to make an emergency landing in Denver, CO.

Central Minnesota was hit hard today by large hail and tornadic warned storms from Osakis to the Twin Cities metro area. 

Hail was reported up to softball size in some places but in our video today the largest we saw was the size of baseballs. 
The footage starts out showing the size of the hail that fell and then moves into the storm chase where we encountered the hail. The hail destroyed many farm fields and turned the crops into mulch for the lack of a better description. 
As the hailed moved toward the Richmond, MN area, it picked up intensity and destroyed numerous vehicles and damaged several houses.  Reports from Richmond said that windows were blown out in homes and siding was smashed by the hail. 

The video ends with the wall cloud looking west to North West over Lake Osakis, in Osakis, MN. 

The 19-year-old fugitive Colton Harris-Moore who was known as "The Bare Foot Bandit" was caught in and is now in chains and hand cuffs. Police in the Bahamas Harbour Island caught him early Sunday morning after stealing a boat from nearby Eleuthera Island and landing on Harbour Island.

On Harbour Island, Harris-Moore attempted to steal another boat from a home but ran aground in the shallow water. The authorities surrounded Harris-Moore and shot out the engines in the second boat to prevent him from escaping.

Heavy rains created flooding issues across metro Denver Colorado this evening and BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was there to document it.  The storms were slow moving and dumped about 3/4 inch of rain in less than 30 minutes creating flooding issues. This video package was shot in northern Denver in the late evening. Video opens up with POV driving shots during the storm and closes with a variety of shots of vehicles driving through 6 inches of water near Sheridan and 80th.

Mother Nature had her own fireworks on display across Colorado on Sunday as severe storms hit the area southeast of Denver near Kiowa, CO during the late evening hours.

In the video shot by BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach, along CO-86 in and around Kiowa, Colorado, baseball size hail was falling as several vehicles were stopped on the side of the road waiting for the storm to pass.

Tony shot dramatic footage of baseball size hail bouncing hard and high off the ground. The hail falling was a mix of Golf Ball and Baseball sized hail. Video then moves to several damaged windshields, including storm chaser vehicle from inside. Golf ball sized hail was collected and put against several damaged windshields to give a perspective of the damage. There is a point of view shot as chasers approach Kiowa, CO with water tower in the background and half a foot of hail on the highway. Various shots of hail accumulating in town. Also includes shots of a store keeper brushing accumulating hail from his porch and post-storm hail on the ground and fog created by the hail cooling the air.

Then Tony goes onto Elizabeth, CO as an earlier storm that moved through the area dumped several inches of rain in less than 1 hour. There are various shots of vehicles driving through rushing waters across the roadways as well as various in-town flooding shots as the water slowly drains away.

The fire continues at the Round Mountain fire southwest of Loveland, CO.

Video shows a slurry bomber dropping retardant and fire shoots up on trees while a test plane checks path for slurry bombers.

Severe storms packed high winds that looked more like a tropical storm then a thunderstorm over Southwest Minnesota near the City of Marshall, MN which is in Lyon County.

BNVN Weather Paparazzi Justin King was covering the wild fires in Glen Haven and Drake Colorado yesterday and sent in this video package.

The first wild fire video was from Glen Haven, Colorado.  The video opens with shot of a high fire danger sign, then goes to the North Fork Trail head parking lot for a good look at the initial smoke from the fire when it was 15-35 acres in size. Next shots are all taken from North of Estes Park in a residential area close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Video has smoke shooting up into the sky and looking like Cumulonimbus clouds. Air tankers and other small aircraft were in the area but they did not drop slurry at time of filming. Helicopter support trailer, the US Forest Service, and Rocky Mountain National Park rangers arrive on scene later in the video. At the very end we were ushered out of the area as they were closing it down for staging equipment. At time of leaving the fire it was estimated to be over 100 Acres in size and growing fast.
 

The second fire of day was in Drake, Colorado.  The video opens near incident command post on Highway 34 near the Round Mountain Trail head, video shows flames shooting up from the trees, quick shot of command, and back to the fire. Later moved west to get a better vantage point and was behind the flames looking uphill. Video shows trees going up like match sticks, glow from behind the flames looking up, and some fire apparatus heading to staging area for structure protection, there are homes threatened by this fire. 

Severe storms hit the Minnesota area tonight with extreme high winds and large hail around the Clear Lake MN area, which is just north of the Twin Cities metro area on interstate 94.

From the looks of the damage, extreme high speed straight line winds hit the area since all of the damge over a wide area was all blown to the southeast.

This footage includes high winds and hail along with power lines shorting out as a tree branch falls on live power lines. The aftermath footage shows a lot of trees down including trees down on homes in the Clear Lake, MN area.
