A rather odd LP supercell updraft base east of Norton, KS. It is clearly exhibitng signs of rotation by it's spiral appearence.
SLCs...or "Scary Looking Clouds". This is a shot of a very turbulant, boiling shelf cloud that had passed overhead near Abilene, Texas. Often reported by the public as something dangerous, they are in fact harmless...if not mesmerizing to watch. However, they are often associated with a parent thunderstorm which IS producing severe weather not too far away.
I have tried for years to get a shot like this one. Too often, other clouds would be in the way or the skies too hazy and yellowish looking. This spectacular and classic cumulonimbus and anvil exploded along the dryline near Canadian, Texas as I was trying to catch up to it. It would later produce a tornado.

This was quite a wild supercell thunderstorm over south-central Oklahoma. I had to move often to stay out ahead of it. The terrain and road network was horrendous in trying to get a good shot. Here, with my tripod unkowingly tilted, I captured it. I missed some even better shots earlier due to focus issues and just being too darned close.
Perhaps the most odd looking LP (low-precipitation) supercells I've ever seen near Tulia, Texas.
