7-28-09 Reports: OK/TX/NM

[Lanny Dean]

Caught the cell(s) coming into N.E Oklahoma this evening and got a few decent pics of the monster shelf. There were a few reports of funnels but clearly, at least from my vantage point, there were none. This cell did however produced damage just to the east of Stillwater, in the direction of the pictures.
Enjoy!

Lanny,

Here's one of the Funnels from earlier this evening! I was about 2 miles West of I 35 and about 3 miles North of US 77. I was definitely disappointed that this one didn't produce!

MODs, can NM be added to the thread title? (Maybe TX, too)

I caught a SVR-warned storm near Watrous, NM around 3 p.m. It briefly had a bit of a supercell look to it, although that did not last too long:

Around the time I took this next picture, it tripped the meso algorithm for a short time. Not sure if this was a brief attempt at tiny twin funnels, but whatever it was, it only lasted a minute or so:

After this the storm gradually weakened, but it did pulse up one last time enough to put out a pretty good barrage of CG for 5 minutes or so. The lightning would come in a series of multiple flashes, so I tried to catch it when I first saw a flash and was successful a few times:

I'll get a fuller report on my Web page in a few days as time allows.
