Now if you want to talk about an awesome shot...

As I recall (I chased with Jeff S. on June 10th), there really wasn't much of a flanking line with this particular storm (although there were pseudo banding structures which led into the storm but did not extend very far from the storm).

I think in this pic you are only seeing one half of the updraft...the rest of the updraft is hidden in the precipitation/anvil. The storms this day were incredibly explosive...a storm to the WNW of this storm had an overshooting top 7-10 kft above the tropopause, so this storm was definitely not a mini-supe.

Also, I think the anvil in this pic does indeed belong to this storm. As mentioned above, the storm was extremely exlplosive. I believe what can be seen in the picture is part of the backsheared portion of the anvil.

Man, I wonder how much cash he made off that one?

Very nice shot!
It gets my vote as well.

Looking at the entire sequence of pics on http://www.wxnut.net/redcloud.htm I'd have to agree. I think the way the lightning is lighting up the storm is tricking our eyes as well.
