Look to the Sky

Kitsune · 05-21-2004, 10:29 AM

Did you know that Florida is #4 on the list of states with the most number of tornadoes per year? I bet you didn't! I caught this rather phallic cloud formation dipping from the sky for a couple minutes during a particularly nasty thunderstorm earlier this week. Like the majority of them, this little funnel did no damage.

Does anyone have any really good "evil sky" pictures? Or just interesting weather images? For quite awhile, it was my policy to carry a camera everywhere I went in the hopes that a good spring storm would turn violent. It is true that is not the best thing to be eager to see, but damn it sometimes looks impressive. There is nothing like a front of darkness sweeping in with that sudden cold breeze to make you run like hell.

I have a shot of my dog in the woods which looks like it came straight out of the evil dead.

What, there's a pale blue rectangle around the moon?

DanaC · 05-21-2004, 05:28 PM

*deadpan* Yes. exactly that

Here's an excellent website to find weather related pictures. It's supposed to be all local weather pictures from around the world, but people post what they want.

You know how hard it is to control posters. I've seen some great cloud/storm/lightning pictures so check out the archives.
