| The storm now looks like a supercell. |

| Storms evolve as we take a break at a local farm co-op. |

| We saw things looking more interesting and decided to go south. |

| A bit farther south, now east of Plainview. A bit of storm interaction is occurring. |

| Is this a tornado or just some slowly spinning outflow near Ralls? Opinions differ. |

| Farther south, the storm remains a supercell. |
 |

| Between Spur and Post, the storm is becoming a bit linear. We let it overtake us. |
