Just before the "four state supercell" that produced tornadoes in three states before dying out in South Dakota it started off next to another supercell, west of it, near Ft Myers, CO. In the beginning, this western storm looked better than the ones that created all the tornadoes. This western supercell did however create a tornado north of Cheyenne.
While we were heading down towards the other cell, we stopped briefly to take a few photos of the western cell. I took a photo in which a peculiar funnel like feature appears under the base. There were no tornadoes reported from it at the time. It could be a gustnado but it looks a bit too well shaped for it to be. I would have guessed tornado based on the shape if it wasn't for the weird angle as it is leaning heavily in towards the precis.
Did you see this as well? Do you have any idea what this might have been?
The storm as a whole.
