August 9th, 2002 Traverse County Minnesota

This was one on the most confusing multi-cell storms I have ever been on.  Looks undercut and outflowish.  We have strong inflow at our backs at this time.

Initiation southwest of Wheaton, MN

7 minutes later it is undercut by the outflow from a stronger cell to the west.

Less than a minute and a half later, this thing is spinning like a top and is tornado warned by ABR now.

It comes back to life once again with a blockly lowering but notice the heavy precip to the northwest.

Starting to get ripped apart by outflow.  Notice the shelfy looking feature coming into view.  Best cell is just to the right.

While we were watching the left cell, the right spawned two landspout funnels which never touched down.  Lots of local on the roads watching it.

A minute and a half later it is ripped apart for good this time.

Lenticular looking shelf cloud as we call it a day.  All of this action and not one tornado or severe report for that matter.  Just weird.
