Lofty Rankin

2024-08-16 By Roger Edwards

Lofty Rankin (Sunset storm near Rankin)

A formerly tornadic, twin-supercell complex shed the first storm, as the second continued on a south-southeastward charge, from the southernmost Great Plains of the Permian Basin into the northwestern fringes of the Edwards Plateau.   That second supercell met its demise at sunset north of Rankin, dropping its last precip and putting on a colorful display in the process, to mark a splendid finish to a long but productive chase day.

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...
