Mesocyclone Blast

2025-06-12 By Roger Edwards

Mesocyclone Blast
This big, complex, highly electrified, heavy-precip supercell had formed over my head in eastern Amarillo and dropped 4+ inch hail in Palo Duro Canyon.  It dutifully blasted a cloud-to-ground lightning strike through a mesocyclonic updraft base on the east flank, and clearly meant serious business.  Still, the suspicious feature at distant left, behind the clump of trees, was a dense rainshaft—not rotating, and not a tornado.

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...
