Did you send these into Kare11? They had very similar pics on the 10 o'clock news tonight

Those shots are no less than epic. Ironically enough, I was in the Sprint store playing around on the beloved EVO when the sirens went off. Oh the irony

Where did you takes those by chance? I don't recognize the area, never seen that gas station before...

Awesome pics! Do you use your EVO for tracking the storms as well?

I'd love to find a really good weather radar app...any suggestions?

Thanks guys!

Things got pretty interesting with this storm. Between the time I took the 3rd pic and the last 2, the local fire dept had reported a tornado on the ground. I could see the funnel but didn't see any actual touchdown. Unfortunately I couldn't stop to take a pic because it was coming straight at me.

All the TV stations were already flooded with pics so I didn't bother to send mine in, although a reporter from channel 5 pulled up next to me and took some video in Waconia where I took the last 2 pics.

The first one is looking west from Delano, the next 2 are near Watertown, and the last 2 are looking north from the Target parking lot in Waconia.

The EVO works great for tracking storms. The app I use most of the time is called Rainy Days. It's definitely not as good as Radarscope on the iPhone, but it gets the job done. Supposedly they are working on getting Radarscope for Android.

Someone I know who studies weather called that a shelf cloud. It's caused from the cold air at the back end of a thunderstorm forcing the cloud to fall. I've never seen such a cloud before. Great pics!

Actually it's a wall cloud. A wall cloud forms on the back side of the storm with the updraft. This is where tornadoes most commonly occur.

A shelf cloud forms out in front of a storm and is often mistaken for a wall cloud.

I actually filled up for $2.61 a little while before I took these pics.
