Very impressive tornado warned supercell SW of Huron, SD. Strong couplet on radar and awesome look to it. Any chasers on it?

nice looking fast moving storm moved into Olathe, KS
I had just gotten home from doing my EOAS class, working out and doing errands around Overland Park , KS. On the news that there were now a severe thunderstorm watch for Douglas, Franklin and Johnson County, KS until 11 pm. Maybe there was a chance for some "action".
On the way, I could see cells and storms bubbling up into the sky. As I pulled into the driveway, looking north, the intensifying storm was now throwing down huge lightning bolts. It was time for a local chase.
It was now 6:58 pm. I headed 2 miles north down Black Bob and 135th Street to camp out in one of my favorite observing locations, Frontier Trail JH parking lot (my wife's school). I had a ring side seat for north, west, south and most of east view.
The bolts were coming more frequently as I started videotaping and taking some photos.The winds were really picking up and quite forcefull that I almost worried about my camera which lay on the hood with the suction cupped tripod.
The turbulence in the sky was quite incredible. Scuds were flocking around in all directions at many levels in the atmosphere . Meanwhile the fast moving clouds were moving first from the north and then wrapping west and then heading south. I was wondering whether or not something really violent would be brewing in the south where all the clouds were heading.
There were no wallclouds but the fast and furious clouds were streaming south at a tremendous pace. Around 7:11 most of the action has paced over head and heading south so I decided to head back South on Black Bob road to see if I could observe anything lower to the horizon.
I camped out in the new shopping center parking lot just at corner of Black BOb and 151st as the stormcell overtook us completely. People were watching the sky and the turbulence while munching on their subs in Mike's Subway shop (lot's of glass for a great view).
I sat in the car but the storm seemed to be de-intensifying. No wallclouds, no wannabee funnels or anything. No hail just some rain.
Pulled back into the driveway at 7:33 pm. For a local mini-chase, it was not too shabby. The highlight was the speed and movement of the clouds and the scuds. The sky colors bordered on light green at times too so that was exciting.
I will post photos and videoclips and maybe a youtube of the fast and furious moving clouds on the report thread.
