Mid March took me to the Texas panhandle for what looked to be a slightly marginal day.  The long drive to Lubbock paid off in the end with a beautiful mothership supercell, that became tornado warned. It produced a brief funnel or two, along with golfball sized hail. A second supercell at dark passed over north Lubbock and eventually produced a lot of photogenic lightning.

Nice mothership structure! Second supercell skirts north Lubbock. Nice liberty bell!

Intense cgs north of Lubbock. Another close multi cg strike.

Below are two panorama shots. The first is the Lubbock storm on the 19th and the second is an hp supercell (with funnel cloud) near Greenfield, Iowa on the 22nd (only decent shot I got that day!)
