The ULTIMATE Tornado Chase: Bowdle

May 22nd, 2010 became one of the greatest days in storm chasing history when a monster supercell thunderstorm spawned multiple photogenic and powerful tornadoes near the small South Dakotan town of Bowdle. This is story of how several groups of storm chasers witnessed this day unfold.
