In the morning we leave from Lubbock, TX, after we met with our friend hunter Dean Gill, who arrived from Switzerland a few days ago with 2 other friends. We head to Seminole, taking us on the edge of the boundary cells dell'outflow morning. After a quick lunch, we moved to Hobbs, NM. After an hour of waiting, the first cells leave the mountains behind Carlsbad and Roswell. We move to Carlsbad and we stop at a point where we have visibility across multiple cells. The nearest to us produces a very basic and probably turbulent rotation. Shortly after we reach the rain, so we move. As we move when we are almost out of the rain, fall sparse, rather large hailstones. A hit the body of our car just above the windshield, leaving a decent mark. Meanwhile all the different cells have become one, leaving little room for photos. We start in the direction of Roswell and a new cell develops to our left. We stopped to take some pictures and suddenly a funnel is formed under the base dell'updraft and persists for several minutes. When we dissolve a crossroad that leads us closer to the base. We make some photo stops and after some ten minutes, the cell organizes itself and forms a nice mesociclone, with the sun illuminates it from behind. The supercell is very photogenic and produces a lot of lightning. A lightning strike probably falls close to the pylons, because all of a sudden i fili dell'alta tensione iniziano a produrre un forte ronzio. Dopo altri 20 minuti circa, il mesociclone si dissolve e anche il temporale si indebilisce. Partiamo verso Clovis ormai al tramonto con il cielo costellato dai mammatus delle incudini dei temporali.
