SW OK Supercell (Viewed from 3 W of Blanchard)

April 3, 2003

A cell popped up late in the afternoon along the dryline (along with a few other cells) just north of Altus, OK. I watched it for a considerable time on radar and finally bit, deciding to go out and film the sunset underneath the storm. This is the only storm that survived for any considerable time today. I stopped about 3 miles west of Blanchard and took a few stills and video of the sunset. I didn't feel like getting right up underneath the base after that point, because the view was really beautiful.
