Headed out with Jacob Thumberger around 8:00 am.  Looked like it might be a decent day. SPC had a 5% TOR risk across southern Iowa in to Nebraska. Once we got through past Des Moines, well past the point of no return, the TOR risk was dropped to 2%. Once we got to Nebraska City, NE our fears were confirmed that the day was going to be filled with mostly multicellular storms. Storms fired all at the same time never giving each other a chance to stay discrete. Long story short we spent the day driving from one storm to another in hopes that we would catch it before it pulsed but for the most part we never got to the storm in time. Long drive for not much to show. I have some pictures, not sure if any of them are worth taking the time to upload...
 
Here's the one picture I uploaded to show how bad the structure was on the storms.
