This was the first chase day for Tour 2, out of OKC.\u00a0 There was a risk for severe in northwest TX, so we hurried southwest to the Haskell area, and wound up on some ho-hum convection stretching SW-NE near Seymour, TX.\u00a0 The southern end of this activity began to organize some and headed south, through Throckmorton, towards Albany.\u00a0 It was high-based and outflowish, but looking good in the sunset light.\u00a0 Someone turned a switch on when we got to Albany —- the storm went supercellular and caused 70 mph-plus rain-filled winds through the east side of town, with local roof damage.\u00a0 One of our vans was in nature’s free car wash.\u00a0 My van was on the west side of Albany, where we had a few close lightning strikes and rain but little wind.\u00a0 We found a high spot, looked up, and observed an absolutely wild and crazy lightning display in the cloud updraft region.\u00a0 A field of mammatus clouds was lit up to our west.\u00a0 Unreal.<\/p>\n
