I chased a supercell that moved from Chickasha to east of Purcell with
Sharon Austin on May 30th. This storm displayed interesting structure
throughout its lifespan, but it failed to produce a tornado multiple
times during the chase. Things got really interesting as the supercell
moved over Purcell. A big wall cloud developed underneath the base, and
midlevel updraft rotation intensified greatly as the cell drifted east
of I-35. The structure was at its best during this time, but similar to
every other meso cycle, low-level rotation wasn't sustained and the
storm weakened. We were contemplating dropping south to another
supercell near Pauls Valley, but decided we were too far out of position
to make that happen. Sharon's brother in law did make the jog south,
and his car was nearly totaled by giant hail (last picture)...we probably made the
right decision not to core punch.
