Wichita Mountains Tornado

2022-02-20 By Roger Edwards

Wichita Mountains Tornado

Writhing and pulsating nicely, the condensation funnel for the Wichita Mountains tornado came into view, exiting the Cambrian granite crags of the Wichitas and approaching the Carboniferous-aged limestone ridges of the Slick Hills in the foreground.  The early stages of this vortex became visible to observers south of the Wichitas, then disappeared into the road void and hills, emerging again here for those fewer of us to the north.  Alas, this truncated look at the tornado was all I could get, with a wide-angle photo view to incorporate surrounding cloud and landscape context.  It soon dissipated, followed in very short order by the “Wind Farm Tornado“, whose complex parent mesocyclone partly organized from the area of converging scud and developing wall cloud at near right.

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...
