The COD is actually on this tornado-warned storm right now (on the US side) just slightly north of Elm Creek as the storm approaches from the West (Mexico).

We were chasing that storm near Fort Stockton tonight and if there was a tornado in there it was rain-wrapped. We were on the storms riding down I-10 and saw some good rotation and a few short-lived funnels, but nothing on the ground as far as we could see. It was a good storm with tons of rain and some large hail.

We were on the Quemado storm Evan was talking about. Everytime these storms from Mexico made it to the US they started turning on a more NE path and lost it.
The Quemado storm turned on a more southerly path for us and increased in dBZ, ht, coud base dropped, got a BWER, etc.
Looking over the pics now but we're thinking we had at least a funnel cloud.
Great night.
