Danger in the distance
“Late one evening, in the pitch black of night, a tornado rotated along a mesa’s edge in South Dakota, spinning with energy. A cumulonimbus fireball pulsed with light above it, crackling with thunder and shooting out lightning. As I stood on the Great Plains in this landscape of fierce beauty, I felt completely at peace, as if in a space that transcended meditation. Here, there was only nature’s wild, spitfire turbulence, exploding above the road in front of me. Looking at the line on the horizon’s edge, I knew one thing: This is the place I want to be.” — Nocturnal Tornado (Buffalo, South Dakota)
