More Funnel Pics From August 4

The funnel on Thursday, August 4, 2016 continued to widen--and would eventually drop about three-quarters of the way to the ground. I began to ponder my escape route from my spotting position on Oliver Court in Marion, Iowa if that should become necessary. The image above shows the funnel with an apparent smaller companion at 7:33 pm CDT.

Less than a minute later the funnel (and its companion) began to decay and orient itself more horizontally.

7:35 pm. Remnants of the funnel stretch horizontally across the southeast sky while the line of severe storms continued their eastward advance some 25 miles to the west. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
