August 8th Sherburne, Isanti and Mille Lacs Counties

Our storm going up as myself and Theresa Caspsers wait in Monticello, MN.  This ended up being a pretty eventful chase with everything from a weak TOR to a car in the ditch requesting help to copious pea sized hail driven in 50 mph winds bringing I35 north to a halt!

Weak tornado begins to dissipate.

Base with interesting lowering northwest of Princeton, MN.

Very low laminar base northwest of Princeton looking to the northwest.

Possibly forming into a roll cloud?  Not in the correct position????

Northwest of Princeton looking at either a tail cloud or a roll cloud.  Didn't have much motion moving from right to left yet showed no forward surge...????

Storm moves to the east just north of Princeton, MN over highway 169.

Sherburne county rainbow to end the day.
