Your Shot member Colt Forney recounts capturing this image. “I Intercepted this incredible supercell thunderstorm while storm chasing near Wright, Wyoming on May 18, 2014. This storm conveniently followed one of the very few paved roads in eastern Wyoming, which seldom happens. I had to dodge sporadic hailstones that were tennis ball size to get this shot, one of which struck the car door right beside my camera!” Photograph by Colt Forney
