stormdoctor  > Weather > 2007 Chase Season!
Several tornadoes this trip with myriad exquisite stormscapes. Some of these are among the most beautiful I've ever filmed. It is hard to believe all of there happened in one season. From isolated cells forming over the Texas panhandle with explosive lightning to "the wilds" outside of Pueblo, CO, where I got to spend a night off-road in a field waiting for the muddy road to harden back up enough to get traction. One of the best years I've ever had. But also the most costly as I drove over 6,600 miles this trip!

stormdoctor > Rainbow highlights the sunset-lit RFD of a severe thunderstorm in Parmer Cty, TX, on June 1, 2007.
stormdoctor > HP lightning-lit storm after dark near Guymon, OK, on May 31, 2007. This storm had given up a tornado and now was in the process of becoming a very complex system that pushed off into the Plains.
stormdoctor > Tornado NW of Guymon, OK, on May 31, 2007. The tornado is very "rope-like" extending from the center down toward the left of the photo. The sunset is seen on the left through the rain-wrapping RFD. The tornado was in an odd location located within the clear slot which normally is not a location where tornadoes form suggesting that this had previously been elsewhere in the mesocyclone and had rotated around the rear flank. This photo was taken on US 64 right before it turns south toward Guymon; the photo is pointing WNW.
stormdoctor > Lightning strikes as the HP storm pulses. This is a rare photo for me in that the sun is still brightly shining. The strength of the strike is evident by how powerfully this exposed on this short-exposure shot. Taken near the OK/TX border on May 31, 2007.
stormdoctor > Lightning sets down in the middle of this rotating HP storm NW of Guymon, OK, on May 31, 2007. The foreground is lit by sunlight behind the dryline.
stormdoctor > Cycling, rotating, HP storm NW of Guymon, OK, on May 31, 2007.
stormdoctor > Stout funnel (but no tornado) forming along the clear slot at the updraft base. This feature persisted for a long time until the updraft became completely occluded. Photo was taken facing due west on a "Bob's Road" in SE Baca County, CO, abutting the KS border on May 31, 2007.
stormdoctor > Gorgeous wildfower field with yucca growing along the highway south of Garden City, KS, on May 31, 2007.
stormdoctor > May 28, 2007. Near Pueblo, CO. Almost perfect lighting at sunset.
