May 2nd - May 9th:
| May 2nd: Supercell southwest of Childress, Texas. A clear slot seems to be developing as the wall cloud crosses just south of town, but the storm subsequently becomes disorganized and weakens. |
|
|
| May 3rd: Developing storm near Morton, Texas (close to New Mexico state line, west of Lubbock). |
|
|
| May 5th: New tower at sunset in Woodward, Oklahoma. |
|
|
| May 6th, early afternoon: Driving east towards building cumulus along a very active dryline, about 30 miles south of Enid, Oklahoma. |
|
|
| A view towards the southeast. |
|
|
| May 6th, late afternoon: Wall cloud over Guthrie. This is a good example of a non-tornadic storm that could easily be reported as a large tornado by inexperienced spotters. |
|
|
| May 6th, early evening: Line of storm chasers getting ahead of rotating storm over Asher (southeast of Oklahoma City). |
|
|
| Same storm just before it enters Ada. |
