We watched this wall cloud develop from nothing to the south of Dighton, Kansas.

In the space of 20 minutes, this storm went from looking garden variety to looking AWESOME.

We think this may've been tornado #1 from this storm - a brief spin up as the RFD cut into the wall cloud (video should confirm)

Although it looks a bit ragged here, the RFD was cutting into the wall cloud and it was beginning to rotate nicely.

A few minutes later, the clear slot starts to become more identifiable and the wallcloud has regained more shape. Rotation was really starting to crank here.

We repositioned to the N side of Dighton. This photo was taken as we drove north just south of Dighton as the rotation reached its peak and a large multi-vortex tornado developed.

The view out the driver's side window as we moved north. Dighton was lucky not to take a direct hit from this tornado although I understand the north western parts of town sustained some heavy damage.
