Western Oklahoma lightning – June 8, 2008

I picked up Greg at the airport a little later than we expected due to airline delays.  Severe storms had already formed across Northwest Oklahoma and we might have missed out on one of the better supercells of the day.  Still, we ended up on some pretty nice storms without much of a drive.  We went west and southwest out of Watonga, Thomas and Custer City before coming across good storms west of Hammon.  One of these storms took on a very nice supercell appearance and likely was producing some very large hail.  We stayed ahead of it while we moved east and took some lightning pictures near Foss Lake, and again near Watonga.  All in all, not too bad of day for just stepping off the plane.
