Tornado warned storm near Janesville, Minnesota. Condensation being pulled into the updraft base. Could have easily been mistaken for a funnel cloud.
Not too often that you see this kind of awesome structure in Minnesota!
Interesting feature here as there was clear dirt/debris being lofted and a funnel overhead. Tough to tell if this was a tornado or gustnado on the leading edge of the outflow.
Barley dodging an intense hail core!! We blasted ahead to stay out of this core but it was close.
Prolific scud bomb near Ellendale, Minnesota. This was called in as a tornado believe it or not. Definitely not a tornado but ominous looking for sure!
Beautiful end of the day and mammatus near Stewartville, Minnesota.
