MAY 13, 2022 OKLAHOMA: EXTREMELY PHOTOGENIC STORM


First storm of the day developing north of Wakita, Oklahoma. We stopped here to visit the great Twister Museum!

The Twister Museum! Lots of good stuff in here to see and so much history about the film. Need to play the pinball machine when you visit.

Concentrated inflow bands into the intensifying storm as we first got in position near Manchester, Oklahoma.

Rock hard updraft vault with this storm!

Absolutely stunning structure with this storm near Manchester, Oklahoma.

Cigar shaped roll cloud on the southern end of the forward flank core looking to our north-northwest. Had a really cool shape for a while.

Such a beauty of a storm! Skinny, twisting, near vertical updraft and terrific colors at sunset.

Vertical view of the entire updraft and circular base.

Rich Hamel in the foreground as we all admire the storm at sunset. Base taking on a mothership appearance at this point.

Second severe warned storm to our northeast really started cranking up the lightning! Actually had a decent lowering under this storm for a while.

Looking back south at our original storm that also started sparking away like crazy.

Stopped near Garber, Oklahoma as we were heading back to the hotel to get a view of the storm that continued to put on a lightning show to our northwest.
