Had an interesting day this day as we targeted a boundary in southwest Texas from Odessa towards Carlsbad. By the time we arrived early afternoon, storms were already firing. A couple became quickly tornadic as they encountered the boundary. We were 5 minutes late to witness a nice cone as we got stuck in the core behind some semis. We did witness a brief tornado near No Trees, Texas, as well as an oil tank explosion from a CG strike. The storm became very electrified and had beautiful structure and colors.

 Here is a Youtube video from this day: 

Brief tornado near No Trees, Texas. V2 confirmed touchdown.

Classic backwards "C" shape to the RFD eroded updraft. Tornado warned at this time.

Storm was very electrified.

Magnificent colors and pretty structure of this supercell as the sun set.

Awesome CG strike.
