Roaring Bowl

2025-08-24 By Roger Edwards

Roaring Bowl
The first tornado from the future London, KY supercell formed just to our WNW in southeastern Missouri, whereupon we got out of the way and let it cross the road behind us.  The roar continued, as did the hook rain and unavoidable few more drops on the lens filter, as it sped eastward through somewhat wet, somewhat dusty fields, remarkably refusing to condense a funnel below the cloud-base condensation bowl, despite the moist inflow (dewpoints around 70 F) and obvious full continuity of the vortex from ground through cloud base and beyond.

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...
