Celina, Texas.

Photographer states :: This storm went up fast and very high because of daytime heating and a frontal boundary draped over the area. But with the lack of upper level support, the updraft collapsed and rushed toward the ground, picking up speed as it met the rain falling beneath. The result was severe wind and many blown over trees in McKinney, Texas. I'm shooting the event from my house in Celina, just to the northwest.
