Towering thunderstorms explode in Texas sky like nuclear blasts

In Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas on Saturday, thunderstorms erupted – their tops reaching at least 40-50 thousand feet high in the atmosphere. The storms formed in a region of highly unstable air which helped them achieve such altitudes.

Although each storm unloaded large hail, neither spun-up tornadoes or generated wind damage.

The National Weather Service office in Lubbock, Texas reported the monstrous storm witnessed east of town arose from the merger of two thunderstorms cells.
