Moving south-southeastward from the southeastern Great Plains to the “Palo Pinto Mountains” (a northern extension of the Hill Country, but with much older limestone more common to eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri), this strengthening supercell provided multiple opportunities to witness its splendid structure behind quintessential Texas foregrounds. Here, a field of native prairie tallgrass with Indian blanket, Mexican hat, coreopsis and other flowers in bloom greets the storm. Such a scene combines two of the strongest photographic interests of the late, great meteorologist and photographer Al Moller, whose emphatically joyful reaction I imagined here.
