06.14.08 Chase Summary

As expected, not a whole lot came from the storms yesterday.  Even though I tried, I couldn’t even find a single piece of hail.  The big show was the mammatus as the sun was setting, which made for some striking contrast.  My friends Steve Miller of the Texas variety and Jason Boggs where out in the area too and got some great mammatus shots of their own from different perspectives.

You know, the funny thing about this year, some of the pictures I have been most happy with and want to make prints to put up on the walls haven’t been tornadoes at all. In some cases, weren’t even severe storms.

Things look interesting for a chase in the eastern TX panhandle this Father’s Day, but I really have a lot of work I need to get done, so I am going to pass on it today and watch it from Steve’s Live ChaseCam.
