Got Its Act Together

From New Mexico, we retraced our highway route back into the panhandle of Oklahoma. Less than three miles west of the town of Felt, this sight greeted us looking north on US Highway 56/64 at 4:27 pm CDT, Monday, May 16, 2016. The origins of what would become a full-blown wall cloud can be seen as scud-like formations at center. A tornado would also soon form at left background. A diagonal junction of US Highway 56/64 and E0310 Road provided a quick turnoff observing spot.

Safely off the road and parked on E0310 Road 2.2 miles west of town, the wall cloud quickly organizes further at 4:34 pm. A funnel, probably on the ground at this moment, can be seen--ghostlike--at the left and background edge of the wall cloud structure. Below is a zoomed-view of the wall cloud during the same time.
