Wrapping yet Dusty

2024-08-09 By Roger Edwards

Wrapping yet Dusty

How can a tornado be wrapping in rain, yet covered in (and surrounded by) so much dust?  The dust came first.  Though not necessarily obvious from this perspective, a good deal of the wrapping rain also was outside the dust at this point, though some was intermingled, since the precip cascade below cloud base was relatively young.  What fell over the next few minutes, in the hook, was a muddy melange that would make anyone’s windshield a major mess, and driving even more risky than usual in immediate proximity to an erratically moving tornado.  That is yet another good reason to stay out of the “bear’s cage”!

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...
