The Anvil of a Tornadic Cloud east of Lubbock.

This is the wind blowing out of the storm and some of the rotation. This is looking straight up at the anvil, can not really get a good clear point on the anvil, it was that large but it was rotating the streaks of the rotation are being lit by the sun that is behind me.


This shows a little bit better the rotation, these are going side ways in the top of the anvil.


the sun is lower now and the tornadic cloud to the west of this tornadic cloud was throwing shadows on the anvil of the first storm.

3. Well you know how a thunderstorm has an anvil shape?

This is the very top part of an anvil, the streaks in the cloud is wind and the storm rotating. It is showing up in the anvil.

6. Never thought of it as an anvil shape before, Just noticed that

thunderheads are very tall when seen on the horizon.
