Storms
Stormy weather is our passion. We photograph it because we wish to express to others what we feel standing under the storm, whipped by the wind, and drenched by the rain. Add drama to your life, bring our storms into your home as art quality prints!
Dusty Tornado – Simla, Colorado – June 4, 2015
Artist: Brian Morganti
With great southeast up-slope flow and plenty of adequate moisture this day looked like a good time to play the Palmer Divide between Limon and Colorado Springs east into the high plains of Colorado. I was rather confident there would be a nice supercell or two to chase, and maybe even a brief tornado...but had no idea I would be intercepting one of the most prolific tornado producing storms of my decades-long chase career! This dusty elephant trunk tornado was rapidly approaching the horse barn in the foreground. I had just moments to capture this image before needed to dive south out of harms way. It was just one of over a dozen tornadoes that I photographed during the late afternoon hours of June 4, 2015.
