Omaha Isolated supercell 6/9/08

This storm was nothing special as far as severe weather goes, but it was beautiful to photograph. There wasn't any chance of storms that day originally, but with enough heating and a little boundary, a few storms popped across eastern nebraska. A couple of the storms did produce 3/4" hail but that was it. I saw this cell as i was leaving work at 8 pm and i happened to have the camera with me so i went out north of town to take some photos.
