Third North Platte “Spout”

2025-09-03 By Roger Edwards

Third North Platte "Spout"
In a series of nonmesocyclonic “landspout” tornadoes from the same multicell storm’s large base, this third (distant center) for-sure one was the faintest, and nowhere nearly as dusty as the second or broad as the first.  Nonetheless, it sported a needle-like condensation funnel and narrow, wispy dust tube.  Except for the foreground’s being Platte Valley lowland on the Great Plains, this event reminded me much of a few even more-distant sets of waterspouts I saw in the Florida Keys long ago, from lines of deep towers and intermittent cores, while fishing from bridges.  Unfortunately, those were so far away that slide shooting was nearly futile.

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...
