Hail-Hurling Hook around Sulphur Tornado

2016-05-13 By Roger Edwards

Sulphur Tornado (scene 5): Hail-Throwing Hook

Once the vegetation-filled part of the “atmospheric blender” largely had passed, the precipitation hook surrounding the Sulphur tornado got more dense for a time, including the cluster of hailstones being flung across the right-hand side of the shot.   [Click on the image to see the larger version and a better look at the centrifuged and falling hailstones.]  Meanwhile the tremendous roar of the tornado persisted as it started to cross US-177.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
