I love pictures of mother nature. To me, tornadoes can make for the most dramatic and exciting weather.

In this picture, you can see clear skies beyond the buildings towards the lower left corner. Many folks that have seen this picture in another venue have told me that I was stupid for hanging around to shoot this. Well, now those folks know what it looks like when the clouds converge and start rolling into each other...chickens.

    Beautiful, terrifying, and sometimes death--buried my aunt and uncle last year.

    Hi Cathi. I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of your aunt and uncle. As beautiful as mother nature can present herself, she's equally dangerous. My condolences to you and your family.
