Today was an interesting slight risk day through Missouri. I started my day back tracking through Liberty, MO south towards Highway 24 approaching a severe thunderstorm from the north. Once on Highway 24 I was able to get ahead of it right before the storm went tornadic. I witness a couple wall clouds near Sibley, MO and another one outside Lexington, MO. There does seem to be a wide angle shot of an abandoned store that seems to have the outline of a tornado on the right side. I can not confirm if that was a tornado or not. I followed the storm through Marshall, MO and was caught up in the RFD (rear flank downdraft) winds of the tornado northeast of Marshall, MO. I also came across tree damage on Highway 41 south from the RFD.
