Beginning of Tornado cloud

You might have heard that a tornado touched down near Bergen today. AJ & I were out in the mosquito mine fields trying to entice a couple of nice browns spotted in gin clear spring ponds. As we waited for the trout, we watched the weather turn as this head turned into a a huge, billowing, far reaching one in a matter of an hour. It literally developed before our eyes and killed the sight fishing. The skies built up and turned black and the mossies were insane. We headed for home and on the way heard about the tornado near Bergen, with golf ball sized hail. This was the cell that spawned the twister. Good thing we left when we did! :)
Here's the same cell on radar a couple hours later. You can see the long leading comma tail like cloud show up on the radar shot. Kind of cool. Have to run as the storm is just setting up over Red Deer now and I don't want to miss the boomers. :)
