My first ever target area post. Convoyed w/Simon Brewer and Juston Drake and witnessed 20 minute tornado on I-35 between Devine and Natalia, TX (S of S.A.) and multiple power flashes near Lytle some time later. May have seen TornadoVideos.Net folks in the vicinity too. No video stills as of yet.

No tornados for me. But i somehow managed to score this wall cloud somewhere northwest of Roscoe minnesota around 5 pm. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...57790_100000114639337_1732506_895424948_n.jpg

Finally got around to retrieving and posting video stills. SDS is sometimes a good thing. This was the first tornado we saw in Devine, TX between 8:00 & 8:30p.m. It became rain-wrapped for 5 minutes from our vantage point and reappeared as a shrunken cone then slowly roped-out with the twilight. It was rated an EF-2 and two residents sustained injuries in the town. I failed to get video of the other tornado. From a stormchaser's point of view, it was my closest significant tornado intercept from home and my best intercept for so early in a season.
