High-based, skeletal and sculpted, this southeastward-translating supercell looked and acted like a Colorado storm transplanted 400 miles southeast.

Despite its lofty lifted condensation level, this storm went on to produce a nearly tornadic gustnado in another hour, and a real tornado after two hours.
