Up Against The Wall (Cloud)

Monday, June 6, 2016



The accompanying tornado had expired a minute earlier, but the host wall cloud was still churning--and getting closer to the ground. This view looks north at 4:44 pm CDT, Monday, May 16, 2016, from E0132 Road at US Highway 56/64, about 2.2 miles west of Felt, Oklahoma. A shelf cloud is forming in the front of the growing supercell, and high precipitation can be seen in the background at left.


Two minutes later and now eastbound on US Highway 56/64, about 1.5 miles west of Felt.


4:48 pm and now .3-mile east of Felt. The wall cloud has now become part of the supercell's leading shelf cloud. Hard to say if the appendage at lower right is just scud or a funnel. I later called it "half of a tornado." Hot on its heels at background left is a deluge of rain and hail. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
