A view of the rotating lowering to our NW as we stopped SW of Freedom; the lowering was associated with the first supercell was chased. Perhaps an occasional funnel was seen during this time, but there was primarily just 1-2 km diameter rotation. Near Freedom, OK.

A small needle-shaped funnel rapidly materialized along the eastern periphery of the low-level mesocyclone, and it had full condensation to the ground for a brief time. Between getting a late start videoing and intervening trees, I don't have a better video still. View is to the west.

We followed the fiirst supercell NE of Freedom, letting it go once it got ahead of us and knowing there were more storms developing to our southwest. So, we retraced our previous route to get in position for the second supercell E of Mooreland. We had an ideal viewing location for the second supercell that was coming up from SE of Woodward. We ended up seeing a couple of nice low-level mesocyclones try to spin up, but the rotation never could consolidate <1-2 km in diameter.  Near Curtis, OK.

A wide-angle shot of our third supercell of the day, with nothin' to its south. View is to the WNW.

Another view of supercell #3... Low-level structure was improving at the time.  View is to the northwest.

There was occasional dust kicked up under this funnel cloud as well. Was it a tornado at some time? I don't know.

You can kind of see some of the dust under the bowl lowering here, about 30% of the way from left to right on the horizon. It's easier to see in the video as it moves from left to right under the lowering. View is to the NNW.

We finally found a clearing along which to stop for a brief time. The previous tornado was dissipating (seen on the right), while a second tornado developed to its immediate west. I'm not sure I've seen spacing this close without the vortices being a part of a larger multiple-vortex tornado. Despite the close proximity of the two tornadoes, they certainly didn't have the appearance of a multi-vortex tornado. I suspect the "new" one (one the left) developed as a satellite tornado, but it soon because the main tornado.

We had to blast eastward and southeastward on US412 since the storm was moving over a large road hole. We managed to catch up with the base again near Carmen (S/SW of Cherokee). The storm was moving relatively quickly, so most of these are video stills as we were driving northeastward along Hwy 8.

Along Hwy 8 NE of Carmen. What I wouldn't have given to have been up next to this tornado at this time...

A video still of the tornado as we were near Carmen. The tornado probably was somewhere W or WSW of Cherokee. View is to the northwest.

As we turned northward where US 64 "combines" with Hwy 8 S of Cherokee, another tornado developed from a wall-cloud to the east of the existing tornado.

A close-up of the western tornado that's slowly roping out...

This tornado had such a great rope-out! Another video still since I couldn't get video and shoot stills at the same time (not enough time to get out the tripod).

The eastern circulation, if I recall correctly, occasionally hang tornadoes that seemed to circulate around the periphery of the low-level mesocyclone. I'm all of them the same tornado since they came from the same circulation (imagine the 'tornado skipped up and down', although that's obviously not technically correct).

Another video still (as almost all of the images of this tornado were) taken along US64 S of Cherokee looking to the N.

We turned E on Hwy 11 E of Ingersoll / N of Cherokee as a more substantial tornado developed to our N. I don't know if this is the same circulation that produced the previous tornado in the last few images. I wish that I had time to stop and take a proper still photo -- these video stills just don't really cut it... The sky is tinged red because of a lightning strike just off the right side of the image. For the third time on this storm, another tornado was in the process of developing to the east of this one. Unfortunately, I don't have video or pictures of it at this time. The orientation was very similar to the orientation of the tornadoes W of Cherokee.

We gave the storm one last shot after dark... This video still was taken S of Manchester, viewing to the NW. I don't know if this is the same tornado that was developing E of the tornado shown in the previous image Ingersoll (in other words, the tornado that was off the right side of the previous image). I'm counting it unofficially as a different tornado, but it may be the same.

The tornado was probably just W of Manchester at the time. The view is to the NW or NNW.

The tornado appeared to have narrowed as we drove northward towards Manchester, shown here brightly backlit by a lightning strike. As the circulation cross the roadward to our N (probably a couple miles N of the KS/OK border between Manchester and Anthony, KS), there definately were times during which no condensation was visible between cloud base and the ground.
