stormdoctor > LP supercell with funnel.  Note the knuckles on the updraft, the clear updraft and downdraft.  This storm would disappear within minutes.
stormdoctor > Note the "stack of plates" appearance to the storm at this point.  These three semi-circular features appear to be three separate updrafts with midlevel rotation.  This storm did not produce any tornadoes, but did produce hurricane-force winds and hail.  I just loved this shot and being there was breathtaking.
stormdoctor > This was an example of an outflow-dominant storm (far background and right) enhancing lift of an updraft (foreground, left).  This eventually caused the updraft to intensify before the storm collapsed and became outflow dominant for good.
