Weather Flashback
This scene was captured from the parking lot of the cafe scene in the movie Twister on the west side of Maysville, Oklahoma. On this day, a severe hail producing thunderstorm with transient supercellular characteristics loomed to the north and west of town beyond the grayish-green stratocumulus clouds overhead. While grayish-green skies are not always an indicator of hail, every hail producing storm that I have observed featured a greenish hue in the minutes leading up to it hailing. Prior to arriving at the scene, I narrowly avoided being impact by large(er) hail from this storm farther to the north and west at Payne, Oklahoma: here.
