Q: Why did the Arcus cloud cross the road? A: To get to the chicken! (storm chaser humor)
This is the moment that the storm front (squall line) caught up with me. I had been chasing it… or it me, for about fifteen minutes, going high speed down dirt roads to keep ahead of the cloud mass. It was traveling at well over 50 mph, and as I came up to this road and pulled over to snap a few more, complete pandemonium was breaking out on the roadway (pictured here). I saw several storm chasers skidding their cars across the median… one almost spun out… all in order to reposition themselves. Truly, the most dangerous aspect of storm chasing is dealing with the distracted chasers as they drive their vehicles… not the clouds themselves
