We targeted a cell just SW of Perryton early.  Did not do anything interesting.  Targeted a cell just to it’s south.  Stayed on this one quite awhile as it grew into an hp supercell.  V2 personnel reported a couple tornadoes.  We saw the second one.  Visibility was very bad and it had only dow 6 radar coverage.  Heading south to target another cell entering lipscomb county.  Did not deploy on this cell – fc thinks it is elevated – did not show any signs of strong low-level rotation.   Ended mission and 00 UTC since the dryline is not firing.  Roger got a few minutes of pictures on the tornado.  Visibility was limited – and he was not with a radar – radar coverage was sparse – perhaps only dow 6.

HD video and DSLR imagery were collected by all three photogrammetry teams.
