We headed, south and went under a cell forming, and decided to stay on the south side and take pictures. The cloud grew to 50,000 feet, and then just collapsed. A new cell then appeared 15-20 miles north so we drove to to intercept it. While heading north we could see a new one forming about 10 miles south of where the old one had collapsed. So we started to become the filling in the sandwich for a while as the two cells grew and expanded making the gap where we were smaller and smaller (Storm Chaser sandwich anyone?). Again this cell collapsed, so we were then left on the north side of all the cells, too wide to go round in time, and to dangerous to go through, so unfortunately we called it a night and booked into the Days Inn at Brady, Texas.
