This is the first identifiable wall cloud we saw north of I-40 in Oklahoma on May 13th 2009 while chasing the "tail end Charlie" storm on a line that stretched several states north of us. This storm produced the night time tornado over Anadarko OK about 90 minutes after I took this picture. As noted in a previous blog post we stopped at dark just south of I-40 and videoed the tremendous lightning display to our south, unwittingly capturing several powerflashes that were a result of the tornado plowing through power lines. Other chasers braver (or was that more foolish?) than us continued the chase and captured night time video, one of which can be found here. As I've said repeatedly, I don't chase at night willingly...!!
