I have some new gear to try out. So why not travel 1000's of miles to watch water vapor? Seems reasonable. That's what it is like busting in Oklahoma in March. But hey at least i got to see some early season storms. This winter has been BRUTAL, so have the floods, and seeing warm weather and storms made it all worth it. Journey with me out to the southern plains and see what I saw last Saturday, a whole lot of everything but tornadoes.

Anvil Crawlers are a type of lightning that crawls the sky in the, you guessed it anvil of the thunderstorm. This is an area where upper level winds have sheered off the top of the Cumulo Nimbus cloud. They are full of tiny ice crystals moving at different speeds, creating static charge. The anvil of a storm covers hundreds of square MILES and is usually around 40 to 50 THOUSAND feet above ground. When this static builds up, it is released over a massive area of the sky, filling even the widest angle lenses with incredible lightning displays for your camera to enjoy. Even better at high speed!
