EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring power of nature as huge lightning strikes dramatically cross the skies above Archer City, Texas. Taken on April 23,2014, during a thunderstorm supercell passing through the area, this image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that storms can bring. The thunderstorms witnessed on this day were just a prelude to what was forecasted for the upcoming weekend - Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Experts predicted that these days could potentially witness one of the most significant multi-day tornado outbreaks in the United States since 2011. The anticipation of such an event added an element of tension and apprehension to this already striking photograph. Photographer Gene Blevins expertly captured not only the intensity of these lightning strikes but also their significance within the context of weather patterns. As dark clouds loom overhead and bolts illuminate the sky with their electric energy, viewers are reminded of our vulnerability in front of Mother Nature's might. This image is a testament to both environmental forces at play and society's role in understanding and adapting to them. It serves as a reminder that we must respect nature's power while striving to protect ourselves from its potential harm.
