Looking back at the convoy.

As I said..  daring production crew..


On our way to a major storm system.


Mud anyone?... Lucky there is not a bus stop next to this car.


Charles pointing to the cell popping up.


Foot?


its a bird, it's a plane.. no.... it's a mesocyclone discussion.


That's the storm we are after.


Out in the hail...  Yes it hurts.... But damn it's fun.


Catching up with the system.


Rain shaft meets the sun.


Rain anyone?


Protecting the camera gear.


I see a rainbow.... Very nice.


Now..... where did I leave my wallet?....


Mammatus Cloud..


Don't ask me where we are..  I have no idea.


Quick.. Film it... the cloud is getting away.


Filtered light.


Convoy in tow.


Hail on the side of the road.


Still trying to get to that supercell storm.


Stormy..


Nice perspective here. err....  is that a train I hear?


Another rainbow hiding behind the old industrial area.


George snapping away.


Filtered light... (Take 2)


Suns rays shoot over the clouds.. (Love this shot)
