HBAL676, one of the six Aerostar Thunderhead balloons that have been floating above the Great Plains during the last weeks, clearly have a particular interest on the supercell that is sweeping across the western part of the Dakotas.
That particular balloon was the one that a few months ago transmitted live images of the journey.
Can't imagine quite the show that storm must be from above.
