Awesome!

I'll try my hand some weird ones.

Tesla-ish CG in Arizona

This is some kind of virga-snow falling on cactus

This is some greenage in Oklahoma (and when I asked permission to enter the truck yard, owner had no idea there was a meso over his barn).

This is a CG branch reaching out to another mesa because there are cell phone towers on it. (AZ)

The bolt got the two hills at the same time in Scottsdale

Rain dances work, apparently, on the Yavapai nation

Bolt dwarfs fertilizer factory near Casa Grande AZ

Alone in the Mogollon wilderness...a place where alien abductions, the restless ghost of a white settler named the Skinwalker, and sightings of the bigfoot-like Mogollon Monster, are ingrained in the local lore. Good times!

Those are some pretty beautiful and insane photos. Internet high five!

Nicely done

Like it. I would have been pretty scared talking that photo - feel like the end of the world lol

South of Wray, CO, 21st June 2010. My first chasecation.

It's not technically a single photo. However, I saw this sequence on my camera and just had to turn it into an animation...

Not sure if it's the craziest shot I've ever taken, but I kinda like it. Note, images aligned and enhanced.

If you want higher resolution...

If you want even higher resolution, I recommend downloading this sucker...

BTW this is right before the Bowdle, SD tornado turns into a wedge I believe.

Seawall Blvd, Galveston Tx. 12 hours before Ike made landfall. This is a sculpture dedicated in memory of the victims lost at sea during the Galveston hurricane of September 8, 1900. It's called "Place of Remembrance", to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the storm. The 10-foot-tall bronze sculpture portrays a family - a father, mother and child - clinging together. One of the man's arms is reaching for the sky, which is all you can see, and the other is around his wife. She is cradling their baby in her arms.

Here is the preceding picture.

that is a powerful picture, Von.

Wow Von. That's one amazing photo. Very artistic in the style of how humans are affected by nature.

Thanks Amanda and Greg. Those complements go a long way!
I thought that these best represented the whole Ike experience from the thousand or so that I took, and he hadn't even arrived.
Thanks again, you all are very kind.

Von, I've seen that statue in Galveston. Your image of the incoming water leaves me speechless ... how those affected by the 1900 hurricane must have felt. WOW.

Thanks Karla, I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Nothing extreme but still kind of crazy, "lips" on an updraft base from yesterday...
