Panoramic view of tornadic Supercell south of Bartlett, NE

Funnel developed just West of Hwy 281 south of Chambers, NE

A nice tube tornado developed as cell moved SSW and we traveled South along Hwy 281

Tornado became a thick cylinder

And eventually a wedge which soon become rain wrapped

We got another glance of the tornado before it became obscured by rain again

Yet another image... we ended up with 16 minutes of footage on the ground and we were not filming the entire time

Video extract before the tornado became rain wrapped the first time..... (see next page for more video extracts of the tornado)

The cows remained standing

view of the mammatus

A new cell developed to our NE as we head towards Columbus, NE for the night
