Here is the boundary about an hour after finding it near Ord. You could tell right away things down on this part of the boundary would probably not be any good. This part was more sw-ne than parts further east that were more n-s. Also the further sw or w one got the further they were from the better mid-upper level shear. And as it was the inflow was backed a bit too much for this nw flow, which was almost nnw flow. Under this much turning with height precip would be blowing into your inflow. This is not good and running out of shear wouldn't help matters. Nothing was going further north on the boundary so I said screw it. I thought I'd see what the big cape could do further south. It was very annoying trying to find the bases buried back nw in the precip. I kept going west, and west and west till I was out of the tornado box. I punched a storm reported to be producing baseball hail and 80 mph winds and got nothing more than a fun little hydroplane scare.

This is south of the storm that was near Broken Bow. It was tornado warned at this time and did this 3 times, but never could balance its outflow. The updrafts wanted to be multicellular, but fairly well organized. |

You can make out the rfd/horseshoe here on left side of pic, with an inflow stinger pointing back to precip on right. |
|
|
Right now there was a lot of rising on the right/east side. |

Watch the beavertail form on right. |

To right of the white clouds there was this incredible hole forming, going up. |

|
There is Mr. Beaver. That was pretty cool as it fanned from the se, acring and streaming to the nw and connecting to the base. |

Outflow dust seen here west of Lexinton. Some of this was rather intense. |

Branches and leaves being torn off this tree as I pull up. I kept looking for the worst part and wanted to get a tree either coming apart of falling over, but I couldn't seem to get it done. |

Trees being blasted by strong winds from the north. |
