I thought the storm was going to go just to my east, and I had just finished submitting anything so decided to chase.  I had only made it about 1km from my house though when I had to come to a stop to take some photos.  The inflow band was quite nice on the right, flowing into what appeared to be a nicely rounded and striated updraft base. 

I waited a little longer watching the storm come to me – some deep lowerings developed underneath the base, but they looked outflowish – however they weren’t, they were flowing into the base and the outflow region was well off to the east producing a nice gustfront. 

I had gusty NE’ly winds up to 20 knots, sometimes pushing 25 knots (winds were increasing as the storm approached), in the meantime a 20-25 knot SE’ly was pushing behind it which was allowing the storm to become more structured and interesting than it normally would in a weakly sheared environment (apart from the low level shear being nice!)

I ended up moving another kilometer before taking some more snaps as it was impossible to keep driving constantly looking in the rear vision mirror with the awesome site behind you!

I then headed off to Calvert, the storm looked nice and was slowly rotating with two large inflow tails feeding into the main updraft. 

One thing that did catch my eye was a long, needle like funnel that appeared to rapidly descend to the ground in the semi-distance.
