Come A Little Bit Closer...

This approaching severe storm cell was advancing quickly and was about 7 or 8 minutes away when I captured this panoramic image of it on North Marion Road, just .1-mile north of County Home Road, north of Marion, Iowa. Time and date were 8:20 pm CDT, Thursday, June 15, 2017. The image looks NNW.

A minute later and even closer. The wall cloud has begun to take on a ragged look.

Same time as above and I again turned my attention to this area of the sky (north), as I was very wary of what was going on along the horizon (at center of image).

8:22 pm. Storm in NNW sky was now about 5 or 6 minutes away. North Marion Road leads off into the distance in this image. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.

Radar image capture corresponding closely to the photo above it. The target icon is my position, with the arrow pointing to the most intense area of the approaching storm.
