As the storm passed to my north-northwest it went tornado-warned. I turned around to get ahead of it again, backtracking to Texhoma where I headed north up Highway 95. At a couple of places I pulled off on dirt roads where I could get a good look at the storm:
Did you notice there appeared to be another funnel back to the southwest (left)? It’s hard to tell because my camera was out of focus, but I’m pretty sure that’s just scud cloud, not a separate funnel.
It was starting to get dark and the traffic was getting pretty bad (along with the morons who were parked barely to the right of the white line and standing with their feet in the lane of travel…) so I don’t have a lot of additional photos or video. What I do have is coming in a post tomorrow. Just for fun, I want to give you the chance to decide what you would report to the NWS based on what you see in my video.
Meanwhile, I’m going to get the video camera set on “infinity” focus…there’s some stuff I know I have on video but can’t make it out enough for my standards because the camera had shifted into auto-focus mode. Grrrr….
