Crazy Wall Cloud in Erick Oklahoma

This is a storm in my first year chasing. I was amazed with this storm because of how the wall cloud cloud took on an odd structure. I was so used to seeing the typical wall clouds that I had seen in several tornadovideosdotnet videos and other videos that people had put on YouTube before 2008. I had already planned on storm chasing for a long time, even before the movie "Twister" ever came out. In 1994 or maybe a year or two before 94 I actually went after a storm in N.C. that produced a tornado in Zebulon. The trees blocked my view of seeing the tornado, and I also saw another storm in Durham N.C., but again, the trees blocked my view of the tornado which was about 2 miles or less from my location. That was in 1989. So I said to myself, one day I am going to Oklahoma to see a tornado, even if I have to drive to the storms like I did in North Carolina. I never heard the term storm chasing at the time of the Durham tornado.

did it ever touch down?

[Torn80cj]

@AJTwister97 The storm's rotation may have made it to the ground, but if it did, it was very weak. Visibly it never touched down, but as low as the condesation went, I wouldn't be surprized if there was an invisible EF 0 tornado.

@Torn80cj yeah, i wouldn't be surprised, too. i mean, that thing came down WAY too low to not become a tornado.
