Shasta County LP Supercell

Earlier this evening, a rare event struck Shasta County in the Redding, CA, area. A low precipitation (LP) super-cell formed and put on a dramatic show, triggering a radar-detected tornado warning, and dumped very large hail in some places. Below are my favorite images. See more such images in tomorrow's blog post HERE.
*NOTE: this very community was assaulted last summer by a large, dangerous fire tornado from the Carr Fire.
