6/13 & 6/15 Pics

6/13 North of McAdoo, TX. Classic wall cloud on a tornado-warned storm. (Storm #1).


6/13 Plainview, TX. (Storm #2) Impressive storm structure hovering over the city. You can see what remains of the earlier double-bell shaped updraft. Also note nice beaver tail and the wall cloud on the horizon.


6/13 Plainview, TX. Same storm with ominous wall cloud over Plainview.


6/13 Plainview, TX.


6/13 W of Lockney, TX. Storm but now approaching Lockney.


6/13 W of Lockney, TX. Note the very weak funnel. Wall cloud was pretty agitated and looking it's most threatening.


6/13 W of Lockney, TX. Dig that green core!

6/15 W of Lipscomb, TX. (Storm #1) Awesome structure of tornado-warned supercell. Nice LP variety. Earlier, I saw a nice white funnel halfway to the ground as I approached from a distance.


6/15 NW of Lipscomb, TX. Excellent LP supercell now. Although no longer tornado-warned, was still producing large hail.


6/15 Booker, TX. (Storm #2).


6/15 N of Follett, TX. Last gasps of storm #2.


6/15 N of Follett, TX. I love Panhandle sunsets!!

Thanks for the spectacular images! My father and grandfather had a homestead in Booker township and I remember going there as a child. I was searching for images of Booker to share with the family at Christmas time. I remember the land as being flat. There was "nothing" there but what spectacular weather events!

My father left at age 16 in 1936 after a great dust storm destroyed what crops there were. He got an education and raised a family of 5 children in Los Angeles.
