cyclone77 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just got home from work. Didn't have anything prepped and ready, so kind of screwed myself. May head out in a bit with whatever battery power is left in the one camera. Discrete cell moving straight north southeast of Annawan looks spicy. Made a liar out of me. Soon after this it crapped the bed lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty nice cell, but whatever rotation it had is weakening It was actually Ricky from LOT who was chasing, but yeah, could have stayed at the office and let the storm come to him.
