Chased a supercell across southern Iowa. While no tornados formed that I could see,

the storm displayed great structure, including some nice clear slots from the RFD.


Initial location, Omaha, NE


Updraft seen rising above the haze...




Precip starts to show up on radar...


Rain free base starts to lower and look more orginized...




Storm goes tornado warned and a brief spinup occurs...


Scud lifts into the wall cloud...


Minutes later an RFD comes racing in...


Another RFD later on...


After dark lightning...
