Update, 8pm CST: The following photo was taken about the same time as the visible satellite image in the original post. It was taken by Blake Brown at News9 in Oklahoma City. Look at the wall of dust, mixed with rain as the line of storms and dust cloud moved through the city! Note the rainbow thrown in at the lower left hand corner:
What an awesome shot! It reminds me of what I saw when I opened up the roof hatch at KAKE-TV in Wichita, KS on June 19, 1990. The wall of dust looked very similar as it advanced toward us. Too bad digital cameras weren't around back then, in the stone ages...

Lets play a game of meteorological "Where's Waldo..."
Can you see the large plume of dust on the visible satellite image above?
The satellite picture was taken about 5 minutes ago...
Here's a hint: Look closely over southwest Oklahoma and northwest Texas...
Can you see it?

MSalome,
First, let me say that I don't know why your comment was deleted. I did not remove it as blogger is indicating. I apologize for the apparent technical problem...
Anyway, thanks for your kind words about the blog. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
To answer your question regarding the visible satellite imagery, there are numerous sources where you can view a variety of satellite images free of charge.
Scroll about halfway down on the right side of the blog homepage and you'll find a box marked "Frequently Referenced Links". Inside that box, both the "SimuAWIPS" and "GOES Satellite Imagery" links contain a great variety of satellite imagery.
As far as the screen captures are concerned, many times you can simply "right click" your mouse over the satellite image and save the image. In other cases I use a variety of screen capture software depending on the situation. In most cases, "Snagit" does a fine job...
Thanks again!
Rob
