I’m proud of this one…not just the shot itself, but just the fact that we were even here to witness it. It took us hours to make our way southeast through a southeast moving line of storms. It was brutal. Hail, rain, traffic in Clovis, NM…but somehow, someway we got out in front of this thing.
Driving through an abandoned town and then turning the corner to see this scene was truly one I’ll never forget. We had just witnessed the Dora tornado 30 minutes before, and so we blasted towards the storm in hopes of seeing another one. This was just as good. The sun igniting the rain into a horizon of orange, the blue hail core in the supercell and lightning. It was incredible to witness. I know if I returned to this spot during the day, it would seem normal and boring. But on this night, with the wind, the colors…the lightning…it felt like we were watching the end of the world or something.
Also I have 477 frames of this storm on time-lapse! Can’t wait to share it all!
From May 29th near Bledsoe, TX.
