Approaching supercell. Big Lake, TX. May 24th 2014. We took cover from hail at a gas station, but they weren’t so large after all. Serious flooding in the city afterwards, though. Sorry for the weird distortion. The Samyang 14 mm 2.8 is a fantastisk sharp lens, but the moustache distortion is a pain to get rid of.

Storms were not predicted yesterday afternoon, but felt it was necessary to head out just in case and it paid off for us. This was taken at Jacobs Well, Queensland Australia. Great chase yesterday and some quick thinking.

I recently re-found this one from July 15 2013 the day of the infamous tweet for Saskatchewan. “Oklahoma-style’ t-storms Likely will be the most violent storms in N. America, possibly the world.” This large farm was about to take the brunt of the storm, a lot of rain, strong wind and hail. 3 tornado’s were spotted that day by others on the storm.

Incoming hail. Today a storm built up right near home. As the sun was lowering to set i expected it to go pink. But the light never reached so the nicest purple tinge happened amongst the blue/green instead. This is 6 x 10mm verticle images stitched.

After a good start to our summer storm season in Western Australia, things got quiet. However on Thursday Morning things went BOOM! Canon 5D Mark III with a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 did the damage for this shot!

Gettin’ out the big guns. The shots from our Aussie friends are freaking INCREDIBLE. Took this during a flight to Naples, Florida - where I’ll be heading in two weeks. We’re expecting a major snow storm today here in Chicago - 8-12″ with dangerous wind gusts. BRING IT - I’ve had it with boring weather, LOL
