Description
"Picture the whole storm rotating above you,
Not just what you can see either.
This storm goes 12 miles up into the atmosphere.
It doesn't care what's below.
You're just a speck under one of the most powerful forces of nature,
And all you can do is stand there and marvel at it's beauty,
And respect its power." - Noah R. Junot

This was probably one of my favorite chases, back on May 8th. This storm put down a brief tornado, but the real show was when the storm became elevated and the winds began to sculpt the mesocyclone in an amazing, almost stationary, mother-ship structure. We sat in this field, just watching this beast churn up the atmosphere before the storm became outflow-dominant and changed to a more linear structure.

Edit 2018: I changed a few things to make it a little lighter and bring out the color just a bit more.
