This thunder cell came through just north of Casper on 22 June 2010. There were unconfirmed sightings of two separate tornadoes north east of the city and left six inches of hail in its wake. Some of the hail stones were the size of baseballs.
Pathfinder Dam is about 35 miles west of Casper. Two years ago it was at 25 percent capacity and here it is filled to overflowing. In this picture there is almost 8000 cubic feet per second being let go.
