Storm Pics

[mitchem1]

I've always been fascinated with weather. Anyone have any cool weather pics? I'll post a few. Two of the pics are supposed to be of Katrina. The other is a twister I got very close to last summer in Wisconsin.

Those are some great pictures. My ex and my daughter love to watch the weather channel and discuss such things. Not mommie.

That car was never what one would term a mover anyway

People reckon this is Rotterdam/NL summer 2005, but knowing that city I wouldn't recognize it here.

Just FYI, those first pictures aren't of a hurricane, just a rotating storm. I forget what the correct term for that type of cloud formation is.

You ought to love the website of the guy who took the picures:

I forget what the correct term for that type of cloud formation is.

Air vortex ?
Wallcloud ?
Cumulonimbus decenti ?

Wall cloud is what I was thinking, but there's a more precise term. Meh. I'm not very useful when it comes to meteorology.

Me not either Kraj. I only know the dutch word for it : windhoos.
Funny thing is that if you google for windhoos, you'll get 10099988 hits
all refering to Windows 2000, XP etc. I reckon this comes from the
fact that windhoos is pronounced in dutch as windoows
