The southern storm cell which was really just a gloried storm at this point (no supercell traits left) produced some wonderful sun lit rain bands behind the Chimney Rock.

This would have been cool if this was one of those crazy ground hugging shelf clouds, but that's for another day.

This was the only area of the storm that had some weak 2D uncorrelated rotation. It was neat since from my perspective is was right above the Chimney Rock.

The southern storm was looking like a typical prairie storm at this point.

I like to put my gear in some of the photos. Here I am shooting video for some timelapse action.

Random shot of the car as I walked back to it. We had probably moved over 15 miles by this point when I snapped this photo.

This was the storm at sunset about 10 miles SE of Bridgeport. Even though it was no longer severe it still made for a beautiful evening show.

This was a bit of fluke! I don't normally shoot lightning at 1/60th of a second but this worked out well. I was trying to grab a photo of the rain bands falling when pow, this strike occurred just as I clicked the shutter.

Further down the road as the storm blew past some of the wind gusts were probably around 45 - 50 MPH and really buffeting the car. The storms outflow kicked up this dust.

Today was my lucky day, two daylight CG's! The contrast with the lightning bolt in this photo was cool, I only wish the foreground was nicer.
