Video Description

A long-track supercell that developed in northeast New Mexico moved across the northeast TX Panhandle, across the Oklahoma Panhandle, into southeast Colorado, and eventually into southwest Kansas and left a trail of hail and lightning with it. Across those five states, the storm was warned for several hours with reports up to baseball size hail.

Video package opens with various vivid lightning strikes. Several shots of ragged rotating clouds. Then various shots of hail, up to 1.5" falling around the town of Two Buttes, CO (southeast of Lamar, northeast of Springfield). Shots include high-contrast hail falling, a couple of hail size shots, and several shots of a vivid rainbow as the storm moved into Kansas.
