Four Corners Tornado 2

Four Corners Tornado 2

I could see the dust cloud forming at the ground from several miles away. As I got closer the funnel began to move down and become more visible. It's not the big storms that I'd like to chase, but hey, capturing this from a big rig moving at 65 mph is pretty remarkable. I know I should have stopped, but the lightning was pretty bad in the area and I value my life… plus, I only stop the truck to load, unload, for fuel and bathroom breaks! So much for being a dedicated storm chaser!

Desert moisture

Desert moisture

Rain from some monsoon moisture managed to cool the desert near Needles to 106 degrees for a moment. But that didn't last long. Shortly thereafter it jumped back up to 109.

Navajo Sunrise

Navajo Sunrise

I'm in awe of the landscape on and around the Navajo Nation. The desert Southwest can be somewhat boring when the sky is clear. This was some remnant moisture as a wave of clouds moved through the previous evening, leaving me with this grand opportunity.
