stormdoctor > Bah--this is a "squintnado".  This cell, SW of Hoxie, KS, shows I-70 on May 29, 2008.  This HP cell had a visibly rain-wrapped tornado which is almost impossible to make out in the image.  You may be able to see the cone tornado over the right-most "wrong way" red signpost.  I only share this picture for other chasers, but I don't think it captures a tornado at its best.

stormdoctor > Tornado along I-70 in Sheridan Cty, KS on 5/22/2008.  This tornado formed in a very narrow area between several different cells and rain in all directions.  I consider this shot a miracle in many ways: yet, I couldn't imagine a better picture.  The storm was zipping fast northward at over 50mph and therefore we couldn't continue the chase much beyond this.  Truly amazing.
