p.1 #1Supercell Thunderstorm
Road to a large, intense supercell thunderstorm near Limon, Colorado with a long "beaver tail" inflow cloud. Hail over 3 inches in diameter was reported with this storm. However, traffic continued to drive into this beast as though it was a light summer shower.

#2 A view a bit to the left of the first. Anyone with stitching software who could merge these two images?

Hello Sam,

Very intense. Looks just right to form a tornado. I think I'd prefer to see it out the back window . Thanks for sharing the experience.

Awesome, just awesome. I hope one day to go storm chasing - I would be delighted to get the chance to capture a shot even half as good as yours.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot.

Here is a pano version for you:

Would have to do some extra work to keep the left side from being too bright after the stitching. I just used an automatic process.

Absolutely stunning. One day I'd like to see clouds like this, too. But no fun weather here

Wow, that is one intense looking storm. I wouldn't be surprised if it spawned a tornado.

Incredible storm structure!

I use to follow your stuff when I was in elementary school and addicted to meteorology (which I still am!).

Can Someone PLEASE! try another stitch/blend?
This is Really Wonderful, largely due to the layering that is taking place on the left.
Need to get those details BACK.

I'd just love to see someone work thier Magic on it, Sam has Outdone himself. . .
