Manifesting nicely the cliché, “History may not repeat, but it does rhyme,” this turbulent underside echoes another I photographed one state to the south and nine years earlier. The visual similarity is uncanny! However, this time the process leading to essentially the same “whale’s mouth” scene was much different: the rear-flank downdraft of a large, outflow-dominant, heavy-precipitation supercell, instead of a squall line. The northern Flint Hills of Kansas provided a pretty landscape foreground for this big gust machine, whose outflow boundary we would track for some distance to the southwest until finding another supercell attached thereto.
