Hi Brad,

Awesome pictures - nature's work of art! It's no wonder that the supercells in the US produce tornadoes even the South Dakota 7th June 2005 LP supercell did. They are just so long lived, often spin up on triple points or ride along boundaries.

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

David C:
I'll second that! Aweosme stuff Brad. Make no mistake, while it was a year (well let's say a peak season) lacking in tornadoes, there were some violent supercells and you guys did very well given the timing. Excellent stuff!

Hi

Fabulous! The 'Texas HP beast' looks nasty but how can you tell it is HP? It looks like an intense squall line with a shelf cloud. The Colorado storm looks circular and HP and is my favourite in your collection. Are there any more photos of this storm available?

Hi Darren,
the photo of the Texas storm shows only a small portion of the beast as we were retreating!  It was May 31st 2005 near Hereford Texas.  I have heaps more footage and pics of it.  Yes it does look like an intense squall but it was definately a huge HP supercell with baseball to softball size hail.  There are more pics of this storm at Sam Barricklow's chase log:

Both the Texas and Colorado storms are featured here:

You can see more of the amazing structure of the Flagler, Colorado rings of saturn supercell (June 2nd 2005) in the photography section of www.australiasevereweather.com
