Cover Story
Story and Photos by John Clement Ahh Spring... New beginnings, flowers, green grass, warm temperature and STORMS!
Devils Tower Storm-Wyoming probably the worst storm we have been caught in. This was the last image before torrential rains and ground pounding lightning over ran us and continued all night with several tornadoes touching down from this big storm.
Since 2015 my daughter Colleen, my youngest of 4 kids, has enjoyed storm chasing and watching. At a young age she would wake me in the middle of the night to tell me there was lightning over the hills south of our home in Kennewick and she would be dressed in a flash ready to go! We have managed to take 4 trips into the midwest and southwest to capture the powerful cloud formations, lightning and a few funnel clouds with the landscapes. These images here are just a few from our 15-20K miles of driving chasing severe weather. It is not for the faint of heart. We could probably do a book of stories from our adventures but space doesn’t allow. From Montana to Wyomings Devils Tower, Nebraska hill country, Kansas flat lands, Oklahoma panhandle, Texas super cells and New Mexico monsoons we have seen a lot of weather! 4
