I saw my first wall cloud yesterday.
I saw my first wall cloud yesterday. Me & mother saw it when we went to pick up Kayla. It had a cloud next to a rain shaft or what I called it a rain vail. I didn't think of bringing a camera with me to take a picture, so pics to show. I thought we might have went through the vail when we went throught the rain part though but wouldn't sure. We didn't stay around long enough to watch it form.

Re: I saw my first wall cloud yesterday.
I've seen a waterspout offshore in the Gulf, very thin, coming out of just a very tall cumulus cloud, not a thunderhead, and I saw what I believe was a tropical funnel, similar to a waterspout, but it was a full fledged thunderstorm, in New Iberia, LA. The waterspout was threadlike thin, but it had a wider mist cloud, like a tornadoes debris cloud, where it was on the ocean.
Never seen a classic supercell tornado.
I did see a clearly rotating LP supercell, but no tornado, over the Franklin Mountains North of El Paso, TX in May 1992, from a Motel 6 on I-10. I was driving from Austin to Bakersfield, CA, and El Paso is about the halfway point. It was the last night of Johnny Carson doing the 'Tonight Show', so, if I had to, I could probably look up an exact date.
