This day was actually a surprise. An old outflow boundary across southwest Kansas into northwest Oklahoma would provide sufficient convergence and lift to develop supercells this day. One such beast developed near Garden City and intensified as it moved southeast. It produced a landspout and had beautiful structure.

When we got under the flanking line, this landspout developed.

Beautiful rotating HP supercell updraft. I thought this might produce here, but it never could focus intense rotation long enough to.
Nice lightning strike under the front edge of the updraft from the forward flank core.
