A major weather system entered the plains today which resulted in a widespread tornado outbreak throughout the Texas Panhandle, western Kansas and Colorado.   We pretty much lost count of the number of tornadoes that were reported, but most of them were captured by storm chasers who were streaming them live over the Internet as was this tornado captured by chasers with SevereStudios.com:

Yes, that is the StormChase.com map widget displayed on the page as well.  Severe Studios choose to use the widget exclusively on their streaming website because it automatically updates the storm chasers position without the need to refresh the page – it’s what we call “auto-magical”.

Congrats to all chasers who scored today.  Please stay safe and chase responsibly!
