Some of my Storm Pictures From 2009

[Jeremy Den Hartog]

Mods, hopefully it's okay for me to share these here. If not, please let me know.

Here are a few storm related pictures I have taken for anyone interested in seeing them. I realize they are not of the greatest quality (my wife likes to use her cellphone and feels uncomfortable using my digital SLR and I was using the video camera that day - oh well though).

All of these initial pictures are from a single event in Iowa (on 6-21-09 I believe). However, I do plan to add some pictures to this thread from different events in the near future. Some of the pictures are funnel clouds and some are pictures of possible tornadoes (but are hard to tell if they are on the ground or not - but several had reports of at least brief touchdowns). The last set of images is a sequence of a tornado tearing apart a hog barn near Dike, Iowa.

Feel free to ask my any questions and I will be more then happy to try to help out (not that I'm an expert but I may be able to help).

More to come...

I like the 4th to last picture. Keep up the good work.

Better pics than my phone will take, that's for sure! That was a messy storm and a frustrating chase...great work bagging the best tube from that storm.

Nice pictures Jeremy. Check out his video on his web page from this event (towards the end), it shows what looks like structure debris flying through the air. I haven't seen better video of this day.

Those pics look great Jeremy. I've tracked 4 tornados but I haven't been able to get any good pics as either they were HP or I couldn't get close enough without being in the way of pro chasers. Good Job.

Your second to last photo is amazing, sir. You have some quite good shots there. The debris on that tornado is tremendous...

Thank you everyone for the comments about the pictures. If you do happen to go to my site and check out that video, please be aware there are a few swear words here and there (mostly from my brother-in-law who is a goof ball and was very excited to see a tornado that close)...

Nice shots Jeremy. My favorites are #5 (funnel w/rain splattered) and of course the last two because the 'nado is really taking care of business.
