USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 28 May, 2012


Storms are starting.


Need to get into position to intercept.


Hail core is present.


Looking directly up into the updraft.


I was not expecting any storm activity where I was today.


Looks nice.


This is a supercell.


Mammatus Clouds.


Oil pumping station used as a foreground.


More Mammatus clouds.


Mammatus are amazing to see.


Looking at a distant storm.


Sun it setting, and the updraft is rotating.


Nice sunset.


I see a rainbow.


About to enter the storm core.


1" hail in these storms, possibly larger.


Looks scary, but really it's not.


See..  nothing to it.


After I finished running around in the core, I took a shot of the structure from the western side of the storm.


Looked quite nice.


More lightning firing out of the storm.
