Caught this monster climbing in the east just before dark. Was tall enough to still catch the sun despite it having been set. The light went quickly and low clouds eventually obscured it. Looked to be just starting to form an ice crystal anvil top. We don't get too many super cell thunderstorms like the giant ones in the plains and Texas. This one never got severe according to radar. Was around 50 miles east from my location in Southwest Ohio Quite a sight!
