It was an emotion roller coaster

At very early stage of the storm, everyone was very tense with quiet optimum.  We have been out chasing for more than a week without any luck.  There was a lot pressure on the instructor.  No one wanted to jinx our last opportunity of the trip.    


Once formation of the supercell was confirmed, I felt relieved that my money didn’t gone wasteJ and ramped up excitement.  Excitement turned to awe, as the massive cloud started rotation to create this pancake/UFO shape, with the wind shifted direction to suck toward the storm(I had to brace myself a little being drag into it), with increased frequency of CC and CG lightning.  I had to keep reminding myself to breath.


Slight disappointment slipped in when the supercell slowly dissipated and turned into a typical severe thunderstorm.
