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!
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.
