Minutes after the moon became visible above this fantastic band of storms, its anchoring supercell thrust a deep, overshooting cloud dome skyward, as the deepening warm tones of sunset cast a convective eastern sky aglow in a bedazzling way. Times like this stop time in its tracks, and make all the road miles, cheap motels and gas pumps that festoon the journey well worthwhile.
