Mean supercell aiming for Muskogee; looks like it is developing a hook echo...

Sorry in advance for any blurriness, this is not my camera, I left mine in OKC so some of the pics did not turn out as I'd like.

This first one was taken this afternoon at work at approximately 1pm ct


These were taken as storms approached washington county between 6:30 and 6:45cdt...
you can see the striations/rotation in these clouds depending on your monitor, they turned out a bit brighter than I anticipated which makes it harder to see but they were very obvious in person


Here's a few as it got closer and moved over head






Here's one of the striations from behind (underneath the clouds) much easier to see the striations





Now here's a couple pics litterally taken within 2 minutes of the last two and it got DARK, I mean DARK!

Seems to be straightline winds at this point based on what all the local guys are saying.

Could this be a derecho trying to develop?

Based on the regional radar, I wouldn't be surprised if one were trying to develop. It looks like a bow echo is starting to take shape.

And now I'm under a tornado warning. Go figure.

Be careful over there.
