Not a shred of daylight was left. This wondrously stacked Great Plains supercell instead illuminated itself with amazing smoothness, entirely from its own prolific internal lightning generation, over the span of about a ten-second exposure. As of 2020, I’ve witnessed more supercells than I can count, hundreds by day and night, over 35 storm-observing seasons. Few have mesmerized and captivated me in both real time and since, as has this astonishing specimen. In about a half hour of observing and photographic the storm’s approach, I shot numerous images, including this one with somewhat less internal light but more cloud-to-air bolts, and will load several more of them into SkyPix in the future.
