What a marvelous storm-intercept day this was! For hours, we had feasted on the smorgasbord of supercellular splendor with the long-lived “Roswell Mothership“, and as that storm scenically spun down, its closely trailing older sibling. Then the amazing storm you see erupted along and atop the outflow boundary from the first two, and reached peak structural majesty right as the sun set behind distant mountains. The show wasn’t over yet either. This massive swirl of condensed vapors moved southeast over the north side of Roswell, making us late for dinner as it put on a grand twilight show, and even a farewell blast of electricity.
