Tornado! Near La Grange, Wy

We intercepted a beautiful supercell and watched a large tornado from initiation to completion (rope out). It took about 25 minutes, as we stood on a beautiful hillside on the WY/NE border. It had lots of different forms and shapes from stove-pipe to cone to rope to elephant's trunk.

PS - about 20 miles from my forecast target for the day.

More pictures to come, along with (hopefully) video from the dash camera that was running the whole chase.
