Supercell Towers, Southern Flint Hills

2026-05-06 By Roger Edwards

Supercell Towers, Southern Flint Hills
The southernmost Flint Hills extend from Kansas into much of central and western Osage County, OK, before petering out near the Arkansas River.  This supercell crossed them after producing a couple of tornadoes, including a nice thick pipe, and its later satellite vortex that I saw, but not in time to capture on e-film.  Incidentally, this view was only a couple miles from where I saw another pretty convective sunset, 8-1/2 years before and under much different circumstances.  This time, I made a quick stop when noticing (and instantly enamored with) this view, quite willing to sacrifice a minute or two on the quest to get back ahead of a cyclic, tornadic storm track.

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...
