A formidable wall cloud emerges
Pampa-Lefors, TX Supercell Summary & Images (part 4) | |
About 10 to 15 minutes later, farther south along Highway 70 (probably 12 miles or so south
of Pampa), I stopped again to photograph the storm structure to my
northeast. The sun was getting lower and the light was improving
(becoming softer). To my surprise, a big, blocky wall cloud emerged
beneath the base of the supercell. For a moment, the bottom portion
of the wall cloud was being illuminated by the sun. I used a
distant farm house to my advantage as a foreground subject to the
wall cloud farther back. The rear flank gust front had a rather
striated look to it as it extended a good distance
west-southwestward from the wall cloud area. Time of the following
images around 6:45pm:
