The Big One

Large shelf cloud in Saskatchewan. I had flown home from work early and was on route from Saskatoon to Leader. I knew there was a storm in Alberta, I checked the radar but thought I'd miss it. That changed about an hour later, the storms had formed a fast moving squall line and now well into Saskatchewan. A little while later, through the smoke in the air, I could see it approaching, and drove off the highway to find something in the foreground. This Canola field had to do. Taken 30 kms East of Kindersley Saskatchewan, at 8:40 pm, July 17 2014. The next day I read reports of 137 km/h winds and a lot of damage in the area.
