Nowhere else but the High Plains renders even the seasoned the observer of great storms open, unsheltered, vulnerable, and compelled to awe in the moment at forces far larger and more powerful than self, and yet, inspired and awestruck in directly confronting their imposing, compelling, fluid beauty. This storm actually was two supercells: an older, leading one responsible for most of the “stacked plates” appearance and turquoise tint in the front and at right, while at distant rear left, its rear flank hosts a newer supercells’ base.
