28 May closeups


Closeups of 28 May funnel(s). Per a prior posting I suspect this was actually a tornado (ground touchdown) given that the visual funnel stretched at least 2/3rds of the way down. But I saw no debris underneath this feature, so I have no proof.

Meanwhile, this is the feature I was watching to the east before I turned the cameras around and saw the westward funnels. This was a wallcloud under a rather benign updraft that never really showed a decent rainshaft. However, with this 7 minute video sped up to less than 30 seconds you can see the gathering scud and indicated rotation. This could have dropped a tornado by itself but never did while I was watching. Good thing I turned the cameras around when I did, though!
