Chasing One Cell, Glancing At Another

Although my objective on this chase (Sunday, June 7, 2015) was southeast Iowa and a storm cell progressing eastward in that area, casting a few glances to my left also proved rewarding. The updraft (right) of the huge storm cell seen in the image above was located in Whiteside County, Illinois, about six miles SE of Clinton, Iowa. Its enormous anvil splayed out from the updraft some 25 miles to the northeast, stretching into Carroll County, Illinois. This image was captured at 4:24 pm CDT. Nikon D5000 DSLR camera.

Above is a radar capture of the moment. My position is indicated by a white dot. The white arrow points to the storm cell seen in the top photograph. The chase objective storm can bee seen at lower left.
