This was a storm that boiled up over the Gulf of Mexico, taken from the
beach of South Padre Island, Texas. While it was a relatively weak
thunderstorm, I thought the anvil was spectacular.
This photo was taken outside my hotel room in Georgetown, Colorado. While I usually don't use a flash, I figured this time I would to capture the falling snowflakes.
The wind in Winter Park, Colorado was fairly strong the day I went skiing, as these skiers found out. The contrast problem in the photo was an error in film processing, but i thought it looked better this way so I scanned it.
I took this photo over the New Mexico desert just north of Santa Fe.
This storm probably didn't pack much of a punch, but it made for an impressive
photo.
November can offer quite a variety of weather. After a night of tornadoes
and hail, Branson, Missouri got a quick 2 inches of snow in one of the
most spectacular weather days I've seen in my life. This shot was
taken at Silver Dollar City the day after.
This picture was taken from a Taco Bell after a severe storm moved through
the area. The cloud you see is redevelopment, which resulted in localized
flooding that night.
October 22, 1996 is a day that Kansas Citians will remember for a long
time. The "October Surprise" snowstorm gave us 8 inches of snow while
all the trees still had leaves on them. This resulted in numerous
downed limbs and power lines. I took this when we only had 2 inches,
but you can see how the trees are sagging and a few limbs are already down.
This is the eerie green sky left behind by a severe storm that blasted
through northern Kansas City with 90 mph winds. The cars in the car
wash are not getting cleaned-- they're taking shelter.
This was taken from a Burger King after the same storm. They were
one of the few places in the city to have power afterward. The rain
at the right of the picture is yet another storm ready to pound the area.
The bubbling mammatus clouds in this photograph resulted from a dying thunderstorm
in Jackson County, Missouri.
