Sunset Hailer’s Mesocyclone

2024-11-17 By Roger Edwards

Sunset Hailer's Mesocyclone

Never to be forgotten by all who bore witness, the OKC-Norman supercell of fall 2024 left a damaging hail swath across east Norman, between the main part of town and Lake Thunderbird, while its precip-laden mesocyclone region, ragged wall cloud, and trailing, convectively crowned rear-flank arcus cloud bathed in brilliant orange sunset light.  A faint rainbow extended right in front of the clear slot, giving the illusion of its descent from (or rise to) somewhere aloft in the mysterious and turbulent maelstrom of cloud, rain and hail.

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...
