Downburst




Thunderstorm downburst that hit Amarillo with 75 MPH+ winds.

The Big Swirl


I shot this looking due south of Bushland, Texas tonight as severe storms moved through the city dropping golf-ball sized hail, and packing hurricane strength winds.

Tornados were reported north of the city and I thought the way this one was swirling it would drop one too, but it turned into a very powerful straight-line wind events that caused trees to be uprooted, signs knocked down and bus benches tipped over.
I'll post more photos soon.
