5/27/2011 - COD Day 1 - sw MO elevated storm and nw OK bust

We left COD at 6 am and targeted the area of central Oklahoma for the slight chance a supercell would develop in the very unstable environment across Oklahoma. The short story is that the cap held, despite some towering cumulus about 7 pm northwest of Oklahoma City. However, on the way down to Oklahoma, we ran into a beautiful elevated hailer between Joplin and Springfield. It was a fun, quick stop along the very bland drive of I-44. The animated gifs of the shelf and convection developing were worth the quick stop along the interstate. A few pics of the view follow ...

You just had to pick a mobile home park, didn't you? :)

Love the ani-gif of the shelf approaching & passing.

That first pic is the closest thing I have seen for a long time showing what a *roll* cloud is. Just think! Better than trip 1!
