I chased in western Nebraska on Sunday May 27, 2007.  Target was an area around Big Springs, NE.  Followed initial storms down to Grant, NE but then saw the cell to the northwest looking more isolated and more in the target zone.   Turned around at Grant and then headed north towards Big Springs.  Went on HWY 30 west and watched as cell approached from the west.  This cell put down a tornado very quickly before I had the video camera setup and zoom lens out...so I had to settle with using my wide angle lens.  Saw amazing anvil to the north exploding.  Gave this cell a little longer and then decided to head north after the northern storm.  Took HWY 61 north to Hyannis and then HWY 2 west past Ellsworth.  Great LP Supercell, the only bad thing was it took forever to see the base while driving through the sandhills...could have had a tornado but would have never seen it.  Amazing landscape out in the Nebraska Sandhills...just breathtaking.
