Representing spin at many scales, this west-central Texas scene contains a striking, broadly rotating supercell, with classically striated cloud skirt and deep updraft towers tilted to the upper right. Below that, a wall cloud rapidly spun, and its conical tornado, much faster still. Meanwhile, wind turbines whirled uninhibited in the inflow region of this storm, which passed just a few miles to their north. This was a long-lived vortex; we went southeast then north on the next available road, and caught up to a view of it again about 12 minutes later.
