  • Wall/Funnel cloud forming just to the Northwest of 208th and County Line Rd.
  • Same funnel/wall cloud.
  • Zoomed back out. I was approximatel 1/4 mile from the base.
  • This is at 18mm.
  • In flow was probably close to 30 mph.
  • Becoming very rain wrapped. This funnel cloud eventually touched down at 116 and W Hwy.
  • This is just north of Lathrop, MO looking at the back side of the storm after it produced the tornado.
  • I wasn't able to catch back up to it while it was producing the brief tornado.
          • Playing with some HDR and tone mapping.
          • Same photo as before but some more editing in Photoshop.
                      • There was some decent lightning going on when I got back home.
                      • Decent anvil crawlers were occurring but I somehow missed all of the good ones.
