Amazing storm image

[n2doc]

A huge supercell dominates the Texas skyline like an atomic bomb explosion near Lubbock, Texas. This incredible image was taken on April 11th by photographer Darin Kuntz who has spent his entire life in so-called Tornado Alley. And Darin confirmed that he snapped the storm standing in his backyard in Lubbock, Texas.

1. Incredible shot.

Absolutely incredible.

2. Darin's backyard must be on 1,000-foot bluff overlooking downtown Lubbock.

Been there. Seen the place. Didn't notice there was such a thing there.



Or maybe he was shooting from one of them Texas Balloon Chairs that hover at the end of a 1,000-foot line.

Beautiful photograph of the storm cell, though. Maybe he used a drone?

3. That must be quite a backyard.

It appears to be several hundred feet in the air...

4. There will be opportunities for other such photos in the next few days

There's a big storm in the high desert, strong winds and thunder, so points downstream are likely to be hit hard.

5. According to this source it was taken from a drone about a month ago...

7. yep, makes a lot more sense than "from his backyard", unless his backyard is on a freaking mtn. nt
