My wife and I drove from the Dallas area to Amarillo on Saturday for a weekend vacation hunting storms. We wanted to be close enough to home so that we could get her back to work effortlessly on Tuesday. Our goal was to intercept a splendid celestial light and sound show, and we indeed accomplished our objective.
We experienced much splendor, awe and magnificence in the elements, including mystical sun and rain curtain scenarios just West of Amarillo on Saturday eve that culminated in a beautiful full double rainbow.
On our Monday return towards Dallas, we eventually caught up to a street of cumulus clouds that struggled against the cap as tops would bubble up then collapse once more into fair weather cumulus.
During our hour dinner break just West of Wichita Falls, pure magic occurred unbeknownst to us, as someone broke the cap and everyone else followed, yielding exploding thunderheads that greeted us upon our emergence from the front door.
A mere 20 mile drive back west to Iowa Park brought us a magnificent show of storm sculptured skies and lightning.
After watching this storm come through our location, we effortlessly followed the still - blossoming system back to Wichita Falls for a treat of night-like darkness, breath taking lightning and intense winds.
I've posted a couple sample photos below.. full story and many more photos will be found on my blog site www.joyfulstormhunting.com
