Gust Race

The Felt, Oklahoma wall cloud was now being transformed as it gusted out on the leading edge of the storm system. This image looks north at 4:50 pm CDT, Monday, May 16, 2016, while eastbound (actually northeast) on US Highway 56/64, about a half-mile east of Felt. Note how the close to the ground the lowering is. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.

This radar screen capture from the same time shows our position (just east of Felt), with the small black arrow pointing to the area (dark red) corresponding to the top image. The small lavender areas of the radar image correspond to the downdraft area seen in the top image at far left. The white arrows indicate storm movement. We were at this moment making haste to get out and ahead of this pursuing storm!
