Incredible images- truly frightening when we consider the power of Natures wrath-Excellent!!!
Looks ominious and threatning to me Then the cold cold spell came through Ky So sorry 2 lives were lost...none here... But tore roofs off of peoples homes and downed trees.. I hate spring their storms and tornado's but love the warm weather.. This is an excellent capture sweetie Hugs Susan~
Ominous looking images...we have the threat of earthquakes out here and other areas have there own natural calamities.. sorry about the loss of live but glad it spared your area..
Oh sad to hear a loss of your town. Real shots of the tornado developing...well captured. Glad You missed out thou!
I look at these photos and I'm taken back to my teens when my sister and I, living in the Houston area, used to jump in her Toyota and chase tornados as they ran amuck through the open prairies between Galveston and Houston. We had no fear and I think it was only luck that these twisters prefered a nice straight line that ran parallel to the highway. Fantastic shots. I read about the destruction and the fatalities. Mother nature is a powerful and uncontrolled hand.
Outstanding captures..looks like very scary weather!!
wow, looks frightening. So glad that the tornado didn't develop and you remained safe. Sorry to hear about the lives lost though. Is it from the same storm? Outstanding captures, thanks for sharing. Hugs Maria
Great image!! i am so afraid of storms with high winds and thunder and the lightening This is a great capture!
Mother nature can be quite cruel-but got some wonderful shots
Amazing photos. Like frankie96, I'm also in earthquake territory, but on TV I've seen the damage a tornado can cause. I'm so glad this didn't develop fully. Scary, scary, scary.
they are spooky to aee and hear. I happy it did not form too. some good shots. You may wish to sent them in to the weather channel. they may post them.
So sad to hear about the lost lives :( At the same time glad that you are ok Richard! You gotta be careful of these tornados, they change their mind/directions in less then a sec! Nice collage of pictures.. And thank you for sharing.. JOE
