JUNE 4, 1995
Lamesa, TX On June 4, 1995 after little success we finally drove south of Lubbock for tail-end-charlie and found this incredible bell-shaped LP supercell northwest of Lamesa, Tx. This storm displayed a beautiful visual-vault and a rapidly growing beaver-tail. You could see this feature grow to the east-southeast. We could hear a dull hail-roar and heard reports of large hail to our west. As we moved south of Lamesa and approached the storm from the east a new beaver-tail formed just to our northwest. We watched a wall-cloud occlude to our west. What a great twisting storm! Watch that lightning! Just as everyone gets back in their vehicles a very close lightning strike hits directly in front of us. "You got it!"
35MM Scans This storm really made me wish I had a wider lense. Awesome!
