TURKEY, Texas – A storm chaser has captured his harrowing drive through the Texas Panhandle, battling supercells, windshield-shattering hail and blinding walls of dust.
Adam Cuker was traveling south through the area on Sunday as severe storms hit parts of the state.
His footage takes viewers on a journey across the panhandle, revealing dark skies above Turkey, churning clouds over Spur and hail relentlessly pounding Claude. He also documented a dust storm sweeping through Rotan, a dramatic supercell dominating Jayton, and ultimately, dust clouds enveloping both Rotan and Roby.
