The best outflow-dominated storm since June 13, 1997. But, like the June 13 storm, it was getting dark as it approached. The arcus clouds in front of the storm took on a eerie blood-red color, something I have never seen before. Unfortunately, my camera didn't pick up the color as well as I wished. Oddly, there were two outflow boundaries ahead of the storm. The weaker one arrived about 15 minutes before the storm and the stronger one arrived about 5 minutes before the storm. There were some 40-50 mph wind gusts and very heavy rain, but the storm didn't stick around for long.
