Tornadic Dust and Rain

2023-09-18 By Roger Edwards

Tornadic Dust and Rain

The Kimball tornado continued to raise and fling countless tons of dust, even as a descending core cascaded through the back (southwest and south, at left) sides of the mesocyclone.  That would have formed an increasingly dense reflectivity hook, were there a radar nearby to scan the process.  In between loud slams of thunder from nearby CG hits, and an occasional passing vehicle, I faintly could hear the whooshing sound of the vortex in the field.

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...
