Congrats Natalie!! Beautiful pic as well for your first!

I didn't make it out today. Sups that went north of GRR were already firing by the time I woke up and realized what was happening weather-wise.

Didn't bother heading out for the \"line\" that formed. It looked like garbage when it developed, and I wasn't holding out too much hope that it would intensify much more. Sure enough, it didn't.

The TOR that went out for Lapeer County caught me by surprise. Info that I have stated that a Fire Department official reported a funnel or tornado. Looked at radar and saw NO rotation at all! Everything looked like, well, garbage! I could see getting a little wind or lightning out of it, but nothing else.

I'm starting to like the Slight Risk days more and more :cry:

Yeah, I was on that cell in Lapeer county, and the tornado got reported at the same intersection I was at. Was a non-rotating wall cloud, with alot of scud hanging down, but no rotation at all...

I suppose this would go under the 13th report. I was actually still up at 4 am when I saw on radar a flying eagle screaming se right for Blair. It passed just north of town. This was one shot looking north. The storm knocked down a bunch of trees where it actually went through.

News travels pretty slow around here but at least I finally found those pictures from Vulcan, Alberta. I don't know who the photographer is but one site that I found the photos on just listed them as "anonymous". Pretty good photos for an "anonymous" storm chaser IMO.

If anyone knows the name of the photographer, please post it. I hate finding photos that have no name on them.

Happy Canada Day all!
