Storms begin

Updraft base of the storm over northland Kansas City.

Intense rain and wind as the downdraft arrives.

Low-contrast, sculpted mothership of the storm as it becomes a supercell.

Northern edge of the updraft, possible wall cloud of the storm off of 69 highway after my car broke down.

View south from the Legends toward the thunderstorm cluster.

Looking east/northeast at earlier thunderstorms.

Tops of the thunderstorm updraft appear behind lower cumulus clouds.
