Today’s storm of the day brought me all the way down to the Texas side of the US/Mexico border in the town of Quemado. On radar, there was a beautiful looking storm coming from Mexico into the States. I was trying to get to the edge of the Rio Grande (I mean, how cool would that be to see a tornado cross the Rio Grande?!) but couldn’t find a public area. This storm was impressive as wall cloud after wall cloud kept forming… again, thought this was going to be it! But alas, it started to weaken when crossing the river… which apparently is often the case, per the local storm chasers.

Visibility in this part of Texas is limited due to the hills and trees but did manage to snap a few photos.

Miles: 466

Looked great on radar!

Updraft evident by the low cloud being pulled into the base of the storm

Just a nice CG lightning shot
