A satisfying storm chase day in the mountains - a real treat to see this type of action at home. More photos and a couple of video clips to come - here is a quick set of photos for now:

any word from the marian county area? We were under tornado warning for over an hour last night with NOAA reporting dopler tracking of a tornado near Pricketts Fort. However, today, I cannot locate any pics or reports (locally) of the tornado. Great pics btw--good luck on your travels.

Wow, a supercell above all of those trees and hills, very nice! You really have to be in the right place to get pics like those.
