About This Shoot
Date: 24 June 2013
Location: Southwestern Kansas near Fowler, KS
Shoot Type: Storm Chase
Rating:
Synopsis:
This was a fun close-to-home chase. I actually started this chase in Sterling, CO and had ideas of chasing down in the Texas Panhandle. However, by late morning, I changed my mind as I was en-route. At Springfield, CO I turned east and went into Southwest Kansas. By early evening, a storm formed near Fowler and it ended up being a very slow-moving marginal supercell, complete with prolific lightning. I meandered slowly south and west.. and at times retraced my steps back to my original shooting location north of Fowler. There was some decent storm structure and the lightning made for a few good frames.
