April 23, 2021 - NW Texas Tornado Insanity!

Highlights from the amazing NW Texas tornado outbreak! April 23, 2021, Near Lockett, Texas

We chased a single supercell thunderstorm from birth until death southwest of Vernon, Texas. We observed 5 tornadoes from this storm and each one that occurred was better than the last. We were able to observe two tornadoes from close range. This was a career day for many chasers, but for Tour Director Erik Burns finally grabbing a shot he has wanted for nearly 20 years was finally achieved. A tornado with a rainbow crossing it! Here are the photo highlights of this incredible day!

Tornado #1 for the day. A nice chunky cone.

Tornado #2 with tornado #3 starting to develop just to the left of the main tornado.

Tornado Number 4 was a real stunner! Very photogenic and very high contrast!

Tornado #5 from extremely close range!

And the Grand Finale of tornado #5!

It just doesn't get any better!
