Near Henryetta, OK (Looking South)
At the end of the chase, heading west on I40 back to Norman, we saw these anvils from a storm well to our south. I find it interesting that the orphan anvils looks as if the storm had "puffed" several times, each time allowing a surface-based parcel to ascend for a short while before being cut-off. This parcel would result in an anvil. It almost looked like a sequence of anvils that gradually "grew" downward to the west. Just a guess, but interesting nonetheless.
