Jim Marocchi, who sent us these pictures from the Winfield area, tells us he was out riding his bike when he spotted the approaching storms. At that point, "I saw the front part of the line, the wall cloud, with what looked like some rotation, or at least dropping cloud structure on the front side of the wall cloud. I didn't take a picture of that, but did capture these other pics. I was too concerned about getting home before getting swept aside by the gust front. Lots of damage in and around the Winfield area." Thanks for the great photos, Jim! Glad you made it home!
