Mike Olbinski chases storms along Tornado Alley (center of US) in hopes of getting the perfect photograph. (The title of this post is a quote from his wife.) I enjoy watching the magnificent clouds as they roll through because I’m definitely a “Big Sky” person.

Oblinski uses radar on his phone, a laptop mounted to his truck, and GPS to gauge information about the storm, including its size, movement, and location. While poor visibility, lightning, and violent winds may be a deadly combination, fatalities in the field are rare. Reckless driving and lack of preparedness can actually pose the bigger threat, Olbinski says.

In addition to the photos, there is a short video at the end of the article, which I know you will enjoy. It looks like a cloud ship made it into the montage. So, from those of us in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona – here is a view of our world.

You know, you're right - had not thought about it that way. We also get lots of hail - thought you would like that.
