We ended up being right near the wall cloud and funnel clouds. Took these shots off of Interstate 75. Extremely heavy rain and strong winds accompanied the storms. We saw the first tower going up and within just a few minutes the storm went severe. The NOAA Weather Radio broadcast a severe thunderstorm warning and that was quickly upgraded to a tornado warning. The storm had some nice rotation for awhile and then it became outflow dominate. The whole system lined out fairly quickly. The main funnel cloud showed some strong rotation but it only last about 5 minutes.
