Best storm pic of the 08 season

Chris Collura wins...this is probably the sweetest structure I've seen in a photo.



Incredible pic, Chris!

I agree with you Dick. My jaw dropped when I saw this in the report thread for yesterday. I saw all the post where people were talking about the awesome structure of that storm, but didn't really hit me until Chris posted that picture of it. I'm definately more of a storm structure type guy and my best pics of storm structure came out of the Wichita Falls supercell back on April 7th...

That supercell looks supernatural....like something found on Jupiter or Saturn. It looks like the whole cloud is ready to come down. Never seen structure that dramatic ever. Chris Collura and Bill Hark get the prize to date...since they are both very dramatic shots !! No doubt there is a tornado under that puppy.

Yowza - there are some PHENOMENAL shots in this thread.

Probably my favorite of our shots from this season came this past Saturday, about three miles WSW of Marshall, OK.

Thanks to all nominating my explosive updraft pic. But, hands down, Chris C's pic is drop-dead gorgeous and mesmerizing. Storm wood indeed. That pic gets my vote so far for this season. Lots of great pics from everybody! We should change to post title to "2008 Eye Candy Store".

I've got to agree with everyone else. Chris' shot is amazing. The fact that there is a tube under there is just icing on the cake. Also love all the other shots that have been posted.

I went chasing a couple of days this year, but unfortunately, the cirrus deck screwed up any potentially beautiful shots for me.

These are my two favorite shots of the year (Roger Hill)....

And this one, from Willoughby Owen. Stunning.

I think I have to second that! I think that Kansas storm last Thursday was probably one of the most picturesque in years. Perhaps there are some other pictures of that same storm that might compete. Nice shot Chris.

Chris,
Yours is the best. Fantastic!
Here is a picture I took from a sunset west of Pratt, KS on 05-26-08.
