1. I heard on the news you had some gnarly super cells up there.
Excellent pictures!

Glad you stayed safe. :hi:

2. Wow! Very dramatic.
Actually, these are terrific pics. Thanks for posting. Those two top photos look as if the clouds are about to drop tornadoes.

4. Thanks
It sure was trying. The dark mass hanging down just to the left of the Purina plant dropped very quickly and it was rotating. In the second pic, I'm not 100% sure but it looked like there was dirt in the low hanging clouds.

5. Used to enjoy the OK weather when I lived there... of course, my house had a 1950's
Fallout shelter/basement.

I could run and hide if things got hairy.

11. Great shots - that sure is a forbidding sky
Did you get any tornadoes from this? Those suspicious features certainly suggest it...

12. There were 25 reported statewide
I don't think there was one reported on the ground from this cell, but I keep thinking I see the faint outline of a funnel in the distance, hard to tell though
