Shot clip of the tornado near St. James, KS


Developing supercell now near WaKeeney, KS

Looking like this one was going to get it done early on.

Looking really good now. Rapidly rotating wall cloud trying to extend toward the ground. How often does that first supercell produce perfectly for you in under an hour though. 

First storm is toast now, with this beast further south.
Second supercell getting very close to tornado time near St. James.
Funnel cloud extending down now as we race into position.
Tornado touching down now with brief condensation finger.
Condensation extended down only briefly, as this tornado spent most of it's life as a funnel cloud aloft.
Tornado roping out now.
Supercell slowly growing upscale into a forward propagating MCS overnight.
