Turmoil
After sitting on the side of highway 44 photographing an intense lightning barrage that this storm was producing, things got a bit too dangerous, so I blasted east until I got far enough away of the storm. Once I got away from danger, I then drove south down Highway 83, ending up watching this storm coming in from the west just outside of Mission, South Dakota. As the sun began to set, this once extremely intense supercell began to lose its energy and started to become outflow dominant. It turned into a very mean looking hp supercell, glowing an ominous blue/green, something I haven't seen in person until I saw this storm. However, as this storm came over the gas station I was parked at, the whale's mouth engulfed the area and turbulent skies hung overhead. This thing was coming in fast, but I ended up running down the street to get this shot right before the core hammered the area. Quite an apocalyptic scene overall, so I hope you enjoy this shot. Hopefully 2019 is a much more eventful year in terms of producing tornadoes!
