 | About This Shoot | Date: 8 June 2011 | Location: near the Kansas-Oklahoma border from Aetna, KS to Freedom, OK | Shoot Type: Storm Chase | Rating: | Synopsis:
The first storms of the chase formed right near the Kansas-Oklahoma border as I was positioned right along the state line along Hackberry Road. I then decided to go after a stronger storm farther to the southwest north of Woodward, OK, but along the way, I got distracted by a large lightning-sparked wildfire. After watching this for awhile, I then photographed the weakening marginal supercell storm from near Freedom, OK |
