Quincy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 A couple of wall/pseudo-wall clouds from near Grover Hill, OH. First one was 6:13 p.m. and the second was 6:16 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I actually caught a wall cloud myself this afternoon. Saw some weak rotation on radar just north of Huntington County and decided to have a look. Here is a video shot from my dash cam from my original interception location (warning: kind of boring unless you like to watch slowly rotating clouds): https://youtu.be/SXq2fpeTy8g I chased it about 20 miles to a point just northeast of FWA airport. I have a couple of more videos to upload that show the rotation better than this one, near and just south of Fort Wayne, that I will upload later.

IWXwx Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nice. Looks like it was trying to get something going there for awhile. Yeah, I kept following it, thinking it would try to drop something, but no. This was shot a few miles east of the first. It was kind of ragged, but you can make out the rotation better, especially after I zoomed in about a minute in: The last one was just north of FWA. I'm sure the observer could have easily seen it if he was looking (Sorry about the bird making a deposit on my windshield): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddyweather Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Great photos and video IWXwx and Quincy. I was also on that storm, waiting between Kalida and Ottawa, OH after I spotted the rotation on radar. I could see a wall cloud similar to the one in Quincy's photos in Grover Hill, but it fell apart before it got close enough to my position. I did however get photos of the shelf cloud that formed out of its remanents outside of Ottawa. The storm regained rotation for a brief time just to the east of Columbus Grove, OH, but lost it again soon after it formed. I'll post photos tomorrow afternoon, I did not have time to edit tonight.
