An otherwise unremarkable area of thunderstorms produced fascinating sunset beauty for a few minutes over the High Plains of northwestern Kansas, just a couple miles from the Colorado border. A fat downburst plunged from the cloud base, hit ground and spread out across the prairies, with rain feet on both sides and flickers of lightning within for good measure. This wasn’t a planned chase day, being on the way to meet tours in Denver the next day and staying the night in Goodland, but it was a mighty fine storm experience nonetheless.
