I grabbed some quick pictures of last night's thunderstorm right at the beginning moments of the tornado warning while the storm was over the Manchester area. The first picture was the last one I took before heading towards the storm for a closer look.

For those wondering, I was not the trained storm spotter that reported a funnel in this area, but from my vantage point there definitely looks to be something suspicious as you can see better in the zoomed in 2nd image.

From the distance I was at it was difficult to tell if that was a rotating funnel, especially since that appeared to be west of the main rotation signature on radar. Regardless, as I approached the storm near the area of Lake Maria, there was definitely plenty of storm movement to give me and idea that this could produce a tornado.

Thankfully everyone stayed safe from this storm and there wasn't any damage that I've heard of so far. If there was any damage in the area please share any pictures!

Turned out to be an interesting storm chase this afternoon! (Tuesday, April 14th)

I caught up to strong rotation a few miles south of Glen Oak where I caught the picture of the funnel cloud. I was unable to confirm if it touched down due to the trees around the Fox River but definitely had good visual on the funnel during its lifespan between I39 and the river.

And of course, the beautiful sunset, rainbow and mammatus clouds to wrap up the day as I got back to Friesland.

The cold and snowy weather makes me miss the summer thunderstorms during warm and humid evenings!

The images were taken during a very active lightning storm that passed south of Friesland, Wisconsin, in August. I couldn't pick just a couple of my favorites so I posted them all.

The storm passed over Columbus, Watertown and down towards Oconomowoc and dumped torrential rainfall paired with intense and frequent lightning, it really put on a great show from my vantage point.
