Chased with Rocky and Chris Novy today. Hopes were not high, but we did manage to be at the right place at the right time. One cell formed ahead of the squall line near Hobart. It moved north towards us and merged with the line. As it did this, it produced a funnel cloud that lasted about a minute and a half. It reached about half way down at the most. It had a nice double helix shape at one point. There was also quite a bit of CGs with the line and some very small hail. After the tornado, the line bowed out on top of us as we tried to go east to get ahead of it. by the time we got out of the rain, it was dark.
