May 26, 2017. Sometimes the show truly begins after the storm passes. Here in Colorado, the sky transforms as mammatus clouds reflect the fiery hues of the setting sun, painting a masterpiece of light and texture that feels otherworldly

A powerful Texas tornado carves a path through Perryton, leaving devastation in its wake. After toppling a 300-foot radio tower, the storm strikes a fuel tank, erupting into a fiery explosion. Rated EF3, the tornado’s fierce winds left a scar on the town—a stark reminder of nature's power.
