I have been storm chasing for 18 years, and this is a "holy grail" type shot in storm chasing, as far as tornadoes go. It is hard enough to track down and witness a long-lived tornado, but it is exceptionally unusual when such a tornado has this ghostly white appearance with a stark background complete with an aqua hue. The storm was so dark to the west at sunset, that the best ambient light was coming from the direction opposite of the sun! The ranch in the foreground was struck by this tornado only a few minutes after this frame -- as the tornado was coming straight for my location. I bailed east (I did have an escape route!) not too long after this frame. 15 miles northeast of Amarillo, TX on 13 June 2016. Thanks for looking! Please left-click for 1100px version
