Date: 3 June 2012

Location: Eastern Oklahoma Panhandle around Slapout, OK

Shoot Type: Storm Chase

Synopsis:
A nearly stationary storm formed southwest of Laverne during the early evening hours. After conversing with Matt Crowther, Jeff Piotrowski and others just north of Laverne, I decided to head south and then west along Hwy 412 to near Slapout. After initially going south to photograph storm structure, I drove back north to the Clear Lake, OK area (about 5 miles northwest of Slapout) and photographed a very picturesque narrow updraft with corkscrew appearance. The storm eventually died as sunset approached. I concluded the chase photographing some sunset sky scenes a couple miles east-southeast of Gate, OK along Hwy 64.
