Photogenic Weather

I have had a fascination with tornados all my life.  They seem like visitors from another planet.  I have only seen one with my own eyes and it was before I ever had a digital camera and didn't stick around for very long.  I have a site that I've been visiting for some time now.  They often have some really amazing footage.  This was unique because it showed the beginning and end stages of a tornado that touched down recently in Colorado.

  2. Cool video Joe. I have never seen a tornado for real, as we just don't have that kind of weather here in WA state.

  3. I hear you Gerry, they aren't all that common here in Montana either. Visitors from another dimension. That is a great site for such things. they had a video of massive hail a while back to that was really something.

  5. Yes, I do know but danger is part of the draw for me...what an experience! Seeing it in a field where nobody gets hurt is fine and dandy but seeing it hit occupied areas...no, no thanks.

  6. Fascinating video. Everytime I see a tornado form and dance in the sky I find I cannot take my eyes off it. The wall clouds at times are very alien and you cannot believe what your seeing. We love watching storms here atop the hollar. Mother Nature's work.

  7. Great looking space! I grew up in Southern Mich., and had many tornado warnings but none touched down near us. Scary! Hey, I'm resurrecting my old Blogspot place: suealehman.blogspot.com. Come check it out!

  8. I hope THIS comment comes through---the last one I just wrote didn't! I DO have a blogspot space at suealehman.blogspot.com, so you can find me there too. Stay away from those tornados---they really ARE dangerous!!!

  9. I finally made it here!!
    Amazing footage. I too have also been facinated with tornadoes, ever since 'Wizard of Oz'! LOL!
    Alas, there were few of them in NJ and none here in So Cal. Just as well, I guess.

    Have a great Sunday

  11. Man, I have seen many many a hurricane but only a few tornadoes. I think I mentioned to you that when I see videos on TV I almost always have bad dreams about them.

  12. It's me again! I wish you could have seen me a minute ago doing something mechanical without scouting the neighborhood for a man to do it for me. I THINK I have success.

  13. Joe, I have tried several times to post here and I am trying again. Your new blog site looks very nice.
    I don't like tornadoes, especially when they come close.
