Check out that fast forming inflow cloud on the lower right! Stars still shining as the lighting really cranks out of the updraft.

It's starting to pass just north of me so I move and face the car east. Problem was the damn winds blowing dirt north. I couldn't look north because dirt was coming back in my window, giving my contacts hell.

Storm growing and growing, drawing in serious inflow. Probably another 1600 ISO image above.

I moved east closer to Ft. Cobb and took a few more stills. Oh yeah, this has been tornado warned for a while at this point.
|
|
The structure started to make me think of images of the Greensburg storm. It now had two or three intense beaver tails on the east side.

I wondered how I was going to keep chasing it, since my east option ended here. It was also going to cross south of the next east option north, or on it. |
|
I tried the north option to see if it'd cross north of the next e-w highway or not. I'm really close to Albert OK, where a small tornado hit. It had to happen while I was right here looking north. You could see the bowl back in there, in a nicely formed rfd cut.

The structure and bowl in there just had the tornadic look to it. I'm still wide angle at 10mm. That's probably 1-2 miles north of me. I leave this spot and drive up that hill to get a better view. I pull off to the left, look back ne and see power flashes under that thing. Seemed those had to be really close to Albert. After it crossed this highway I opted to try the southeast route. I thought I could do that and get out ahead of it easily enough. After a bit of driving the low clouds really began to block the view of the thing. I call it a day and get a room in Chickasha. Easily my best Oklahoma storm! I never seem to have much luck there.
