Tornado Warned Storms between Borger - Fritch - Shamrock, Texas
I still can't believe this didn't produce a tornado, was sooo close!
this moment totally reminded me of the Canadian Texas Tornado in 2015! (which is just East of where I was at this moment)
Big Gnarly Wall Cloud near Borger, Texas!!
This thing was a beast!
This day was a fairly stressful squall line mess with many options in many places!
I started off in Pampa and then headed to Borger followed by here at Fritch where I seen some great structure along the way!
After that everything became a mess!
I seen the storm South of Claude was Tornado warned so I headed towards Groom and McLean on the I-40 and East to stay North of it.
While heading East, straight South of me at Howardwich was showing rotation on Velocity scan and was heading my way, and got close at one point (was a confirmed Tornado)!
Not going to lie, things got a little intense! I got past as whatever the scan was showing (which at the time, I was thinking may of been a possible rain wrapped tornado) I got East of it around Shamrock, but lost my Anemometer on the truck and the winds tore off a Magnet on my hail armor (which I fixed in the am)!
Overall a great chase day with some intense moments!
