After a 12 hour drive from a chase in South Dakota on Tuesday, I just finished an incredible chase to the Medicine Lodge, Kansas area. I saw three tornadoes (my first ones!), one within a half of a mile away in Attica, Kansas.
Here are some video captures:

First tornado (Sharon, KS) is timelapsed without sound, followed by Attica and Harper tornadoes with sound.
Got pounded with baseball sized hail, lots of big new dents on the truck. Amazingly I didn't lose my windshield.
More details to come later!
