We didn’t have real high hopes for the day, and that kept us from being disappointed. Storms were expected to form across Northwest Texas and Southwest Oklahoma during the evening hours. These were expected to have issues with limited moisture and be fairly high based, but there was a chance at more sunset lightning. We first drove to Mount Scott and waited for a considerable amount of time before first storms started to appear in Northwest Texas.
We drove west on Highway 62 and made a couple of stops – one of which was used to shoot images of an old farm house to the south southeast of Friendship.
We were finally introduced to storms in Jackson County, and we followed these north and east as they produced a considerable amount of lightning at times. The show was short-lived and we only ended up with a couple of lightning captures from the event.
