Storm Pictures

The storm pushed through Thursday evening. Winds blew 50 to 60 miles per hour. It produced 1 and one-half inch hail, and caused major crop and isolated property damage. We took the following shots as the storm encountered the 8,000 to 10,000 foot barrier of the Bridger Range ridge line. Just south of the the storm path, we could see the storm cell's meteorological progression with the naked eye.
Storm movement left to right; notice downdraft is blowing trees hard opposite, right to left.
Clash of the storm with opposite wind cause swirling rotation.
Rotation attempts to form a vortex just before friction with the ridge line breaks it up. Notice at this point trees are upright.
