Structure at twilight near Lake McClellan
Pampa-Lefors, TX Supercell Summary & Images (part 8) | |
I continued east
and southeast on Ranch 2477 stopping intermittently along the way to
I-40 after sunset to photograph the structure of the supercell off
to the east. There was a left-split storm moving northeast to
eventually merge with the main supercell storm, although this ended
up being more of a destructive merger (in combination with the fact
that instability was rapidly declining with loss of insolation).
When I got to I-40, I continued east to Alanreed and went south on
Ranch 291, but by this point, the storm was not photogenic anymore
and the rising full moon was in a bad position providing harsh light
in the direction of the decaying and departing storm. All in all,
this was one incredible chase for October -- probably the most
impressive supercell, structure wise, I have photographed in the
month of October.
