LOL I'm not making my decision based soley on the data... I have seen well over a thousand storms in the past few years of chasing, and from what I can see from the picture(s) is a high-based, outflow dominant thunderstorm (with a linear lowering).

How can you tell that the storm is outflow dominated? Outflow dominance in a storm is sometimes difficult to assess even when you have 360 degrees of viewing freedom. If I remember correctly, there were several chasers (some quite experienced) who erroneously thought the Hiawatha, KS supercell of June 4th, 2005 had become outflow dominated. Much to their chagrine, the storm produced a highly photogenic tornado only minutes after they left the storm. I don't see how you can obtain this important information from a photo that only shows a very small portion of the storm.
