Swirling along a cyclonic-shear zone east of the main mesocyclone, a funnel cloud swirls for a couple minutes over the North Platte River Valley and Nebraska Panhandle prairies. No dust or debris appeared with this funnel, one of several we saw on this remarkable storm-intercept day. A separate storm over an hour later produced another funnel cloud, visible to the WSW from very near this spot.
