Here is a gallery of screen grabs from my cell phone video of the same sequence. (The cell phone video is a bit clearer in this case). Click or tap on any image to see it full-size.

So what did I report?

This is the NWSChat transcript from that time (I have taken out items posted by others).

 

(21:12:23) KWCH-SRoberts:

location: N 37.05.15 W 101.44.11 looking straight north. I’ve been watching two bowl-shaped lowerings several miles north of me. I can’t be certain either is a funnel, can’t get good enough backlight. But they appear to be coincident with the 50kt wind due N of my location.

(21:13:00) KWCH-SRoberts:

Rope tornado on the ground 5 miles to my NW

(21:22:04) KWCH-SRoberts:

I am at the same location…this is the fifth time it’s cycled from inflow to outflow and back. Quarter hail

Here’s the video from that….

Based on what you’ve seen do you think I got the reports right, or did I mis-report something?
