21 April 2008

Brief chase from a Sonic in Norman to just NW of Pauls Valley for a late evening supercell. The chase crew consisted of Daphne and the kids, along with Bryan Smith. The supercell developed nice updraft structure with bands/striations after dark, though I didn't take any pictures since the lightning was primarily NE-E of the updraft and didn't provide much backlighting.
