At exit 57 on I-40, looking west-southwest. At this point the tornado had already been on the ground for about 5 minutes.

The condensation funnel was not in contact with the ground at times early in the tornado's lifespan, but circulation was still evident at the surface.

The tornado is probably about 10 miles away. Not that it was of much concern to the cows.
