I had been driving through the Greene County area, watching everything come in. I had passed through Williard to HWY 13. Jumped over to head north on 65. Got halfway to Fair Grove watching some ominous clouds. I actually got a little skittish just from the look of the clouds and the dead stillness. When I turned around to head back, I stepped out of the car to get a better look at the west-northwest, and there was no breeze. Just dead calm. I headed back to Springfield and took 44 to an overpass near Industial Partnership (near marker 84, i think). I was still able to spot most of the clouds I had seen on 65, moving east. We could see the wall cloud during lightening strikes, and observed that it was slowly rotating counterclockwise. I got the camera out and held down the shutter for about three minutes, taking 227 pictures. We were then hit by a *strong* wind gust, and we heard the sirens going off in Springfield. I had KTTS and NOAA going, alerting to a "possible tornado indicated on RADAR, moving east at 45 miles an hour", affecting the area along 44 from, I believe, mile marker 70 to marker 90.
Observations:
It was not a shelf cloud. It was fully attached to the main cloud body. It drooped below the main body. It showed anticyclonic rotation. It showed signs of development, and became fuller and lower to the ground as it passed in front of our position. This is the storm that tracked to Strafford area, NOT the storm cell near 65 and Sunshine. No reports of touchdown were reported from this storm, as of yet. I was asked if it was a funnel cloud, and to answer that, I will direct it to the professionals, they would have more expertise in distinguishing a funnel cloud from a rotating wall cloud.
