June 6, 1997 Storm Log |  Isolated Severe Cell with Wall Cloud in Southern WI

An isolated severe storm was approaching early in the evening and managed to put on a bit of a show for me.  There was a flurry of CG activity off to the north and that alone lured me outside for a closer look.  The storm was moving SSEerly and with time the updraft base became better organized a few miles to my NW.  It wasn't long before a lowering developed that demanded my attention.  It looked like a shelf cloud at first, but with time a tail cloud angled down and away from it.  Holy smokes, a wall cloud!  I don't even remember if there was rotation with it, but I tried to snap off as many photos before the precip ran me over.
