Taken yesterday evening, this beast of a storm was ripping through west Texas near the town of Littlefield. As it intensified, it dropped tennis ball size hail and winds of 75mph. The winds kicked up dirt and dust creating almost haboob-like conditions.

Two minutes after this picture was taken, visibility dropped to 30 feet or less. It was an amazing experience, if maybe a bit disconcerting.
