Day 5. A Great Photo Opportunity
It started off as a promising day. A day which looked like it was going to produce a lot of tornadic activity in the southeast part of Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. But by mid afternoon we all soon realized that was not the case. We decided to take a small chance on a cell in Oklahoma and headed in that direction. After a couple of hours driving through Osage Reservation/County we came to the back end of the cell. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There was this huge, towering updraft cloud and the sun was shining on to the top part of it, while the bottom was enshrouded in shadow. There was a double rainbow over some farmland, which I may have trespassed on to get some pictures. And the sunset. The sunset was spectacular.

Incredible! I was sure y'all had headed southeast, cause the radar on those storms was gettin purple.
ReplyDeleteWe thought about heading east, but that would have taken us even further out of position. We all wanted to go west, and ultimately head toward the high plains of eastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming.
ReplyDeletewow those cloud formations are simply stunning
