Stormchase USA 2025 (Index)

23.05.2025: Wichita Falls - Turkey - Spur - Wichita Falls, TX (383 miles)

Rating:



There is an interesting set-up forecast for Colorado, but we can't make it up there from our home base Wichita Falls without a 10 hour / 650 miles north drive. Take my systematical underestimation of distant potential setups into account and you get the 'Quittung'. Instead we focus on storms that might develop much closer a bit west from here along a diffuse dryline and/or the Cap Rock.

Short stop, rattle snake does not look very happy, so we better grab the zoom lens and keep some distance. Amazing shots by Philippe, geez!



I see you!

By sheer luck, a little storm cell develops east of Lubbock after dark, throws a few intriguing lightnings before dying quickly and pushes our weather rating up to a solid three, we are happy:
