BTW, the Quinter tornado was finally rated an EF4:
=======

Wind speed 166-­200 mph 267­-322 km/h Relative frequency 0.7%
Potential damage
Devastating damage.
Well-constructed houses and whole frame houses completely leveled;
cars thrown and small missiles generated.

========

To see a tornado that rare--- less than 1% of tornadoes are EF4s--- and to witness from inception through death , all on our first chase, was simply amazing.

The storm is already listed in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2008_Plains_tornado_outbreak

I have many still photos posted from different parts of the chase:

I have a series of amazing cloud formations, too: Not tornado clouds, but detailed storm images with lots of structure. Example--- sunset thunderstorm:

Other members of the same tour took photos as well, and we've been sharing then via email. While I finish assembling my photos and videos, here are some from fellow tour-takers: different angles and moments from the same storm:
