Well I got out and had a little mini chase our here in west TX north of Midland/Odessa for a while. Never did find any hail, but I think I saw more rainbows than I EVER have before on a single chase! Here are a couple of them.

Also got on this one minisupercell right before sunset and got some cool video of it spinning itself to death as the sun sets behind it. I made a timelapse of it you can check out here if you have a good connection. 5.31 megs Windows Media Video; runtime about 2 minutes.

Heard of a tornado touchdown just west of Roma, TX and saw TVS on radar. Can anyone confirm this?
