These shots aren't very
clean because
I was again shooting in full manual for only the 2nd time ever. I forgot to focus half of these shots. This was the left section of the shelf coming straight at us. This same system apparently dropped a tornado in Riverdale, IA, but I HIGHLY doubt that it ever did. I'm sure it was someone who saw something which looked like a funnel and called it in. |

I really wish this
would have
turned
out better than it did. You can see the whale's mouth tucked up underneath the back side of the shelf. I could hear the wind howling above me at this point. |

Some more whale's
mouth. The
leading edge of the shelf was now almost directly overhead. |
 |
Looking back to the
southwest. The
skies have really lightened up and the wind is really starting to crank. |

A zoomed in shot of the whale's mouth as it is rolling straight overhead. |

It was starting to
cough up
sprinkles
on me so I snapped a few last pics and decided to get heading. |
