Probably doesn't matter much but they're called magazines, not clips.

Yesterday I drove to Empire Ranch Road right as the setting sun peeked through from west and illuminated the belly of the storm! I have a handful of shots similar to this but this is my favorite!

Giants among us.
El Paso, Texas was given quite a show on July 27. This is another of my favorites from that day!

Storm Chase: Elgin, Arizona!
YouTube video by LoriGraceAz Storm Chase: Elgin, Arizona!

I finally have time to do some proper storm chase vlogs. If you're interested in seeing how I chase and capture my images, head on over to my YouTube page. I share camera stuff, radar from the storm, and talk about what I'm seeing to know where to point my cameras.

Here's the premiere of my short film "Sudden Drop" where I share from my best ever surprise haboob chase through southeastern Arizona on July 13! I can't post here but the 4K YT link is below. That was an incredible day! Feel free to share this! #haboob

Hey friends! I'll be posting my short film "Sudden Drop" tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. It covers my haboob chase on July 13 from the Dragoon Mountains all the way to Nogales, Arizona! I hope you watch this one, I'm super proud of the timelapse footage I captured!

Capturing this shot is peak storm photography for me as I can't believe I watched a monster haboob clobbering the Mustang Mountains just north of Elgin, Arizona yesterday. I've never seen a dust storm in this area, and I think I'm going to print this one for the wall.

A distant bolt tells of the coming storm as it approached White Sands National Park on July 6.

This is my favorite capture of the season so far as it captures all the elements of the monsoon in one shot. Captured just south of Deming, NM on July 8, I braced for the wall of dust racing towards me hoping to see a bolt of lightning oustide of the brightly visible downburst.

Lightning at White Sands National Park! After waiting in the 100 degree heat for 45 minutes, storms finally built into the Tularosa Basin and boy did they put on a show! I positioned myself still within the park looking towards the Dune Life Nature Trail to get this shot!

How low to the ground have you ever seen a rainbow? This one was playing limbo as it nearly scrapes the ground when I captured this bolt slice through it yesterday in Hatch, New Mexico! I knew the rest of the day was going to be lit when this thing was spitting out bright daytime bolts like crazy!

During the timelapse, my camera still captured a daytime bolt during this storm that eventually became the most scenic storm of the year as it passed through Amistad and Nara Vista, New Mexico an hour later.

CPC 8-14 day outlook still hinting at an early start to #Monsoon for #AZ. Today is the first "official" day of monsoon season. Getting gear polished off and just picked up a new DSLR. The time to chase is nigh.

and hints of an inverted trough late next week along with the High consolidating over the 4C. Let's get ready to rumble!

Now here's a photo that I love with all my heart. This is one shot in a timelapse of the Felt, Oklahoma tornado on June 8 taken from the Intersection of Hwy 285 and EW33 Rd just north of the Oklahoma/Texas state line.
