Hello all,

I was on great chase last night, first time so early in the season. I also caught some lightning shots. Here are some pics:

At the afternoon before I left:

For this structure I am not really sure what it is. Never seen anything like this here. Is it a mesocyclone or "TVS" or something like that? Hope someone can explain this.
