The towers were rock hard in appearance before shearing winds too their toll. This is an example of the excellent shearing winds keeping the building storm tilted at a 45 degree angle. This set of towers would take over as the main storm of the day. A tornado is developing while this wide angle image was taken. To most chasers this storm probably looks distant, but that's because it's small.
Close inspection indicates a weak anvil beginning to shear off to the southeast.
It initially showed before this image but never took off to the east. Now it was beginning to shear downstream. A tornado in progress to our northeast. It can't be seen in this image. What we did see were large chunks of sheet metal glinting in the sun as the tornado lifted them half way to the cloud base.
