Tornadic Sunset Thunderstorm
Taken 30 minutes after sunset and moments after the National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for this rotating thunderstorm just east of Chugwater, Wyoming (~40 miles to my north and at extreme right in this image). The core of this storm registered purple (extemely intense). Lightning was active and I did manage to capture some discrete bolts but smoke and falling precipitation limited the show for me.
