Hellacious Hail
Did a little storm chasing east of Limon today--missed the one tornado apparently but the storms were still awesome! Will catch up on commenting soon but ive gotta get some sleep--more storms tomorrow!

I was scoping out those clouds from town last night and thought they must be impressive. Cool shots! Can't wait to see more from your season.

That's sweet Stan, great light in the clouds and a really nice foreground to show off the scale of the storm.

Amazing light and I love the clouds. Pretty impressive.

I just checked out your web page and those cumulus images are incredible. I thought you were the dune man? Your clouds are just as good or better.

Nice stuff! I like the "Amazing mammatus display" best.

That is one impressive cloud and congrats for capturing it at such a stunning moment.

Yes, nice cloud set on your blog.

Amazing light and clouds, Stan. Here's another vote for "Amazing Mammatus".

Amazing shots, Stan! Ever since my parents narrowly escaped getting clobbered by softball-size hail in Socorro, NM, I've found it rather unnerving. Your photos are beauties, but they give me a strong urge to jump in a car and drive the other way!

Whoa, Stan, those are really cool! You can be glad you didn't get caught in the hellacious hail and total your vehicle out :wink: Have fun chasing. I'll also be running the other direction.

This is a great collection of clouds, Stan! I really like "line of clouds" and the one you posted in the Landscape gallery.

That is gorgeous, Stan. I'm heading over to your website now to look at the rest!

Very nice Stan!! I like this image a lot and those clouds are amazing.

Another vote for "Amazing mammatus display". For me, that's the shot hands down. Great capture. Have fun out there Stan.

Nice, you should title it, nowhere to hide
Posted by Rod Chandler on May 19, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Awesome is the only word I can think of Stan.
