18:31 CDT - Wide angle view of low scud clouds on the leading edge of the front. Front is moving at the observer from the northwest.
Location: Intersection hwys 153 and 107 looking northwest.
18:31 CDT - Another wide angle view of the same formation seconds later taken more to the north. A solid wall of rain was behind this leading edge which apparently concealed a rotating wall cloud that was seen minutes later in the Mosinee Hill area.
Location: Intersection hwys 153 and 107 looking north.
19:02 CDT - Medium angle view of the formation at leading edge of second cell. A very ominous radar echo had observers watching this cell very closely, but it contained nothing severe.
Location: Intersection hwys 153 and 107 looking west-southwest.
19:18 CDT - Telephoto view of a dynamic distention from the second cell. This structure was displaying differential motion moving left to right while the background clouds were moving in the opposite direction giving the deceptive appearance of rotation.
Location: Intersection hwys 153 and 107 looking southwest.
