May 28, 2009: Wink, TX Beautiful Supercell & Hail

A very interesting day of storm chasing in Texas. We intercepted a beautifully structured supercell thunderstorm that was tornado warned for over an hour but never produced a tornado. Despite that, the storm had some of the most unique base structure I have ever seen while storm chasing. It looked almost like a giant starship was floating through the atmosphere. We also experienced tennis ball-sized hail, which was insane. At the end of the day, we were treated to a beautiful sunset with sun tinted hail shafts.
