Dynamite capture, Jim! I've seen one before, but nothing of this magnitude.Nadya Johnson February 11, 2008
Great capture, Jim! Over 8 years in Baja, we saw (or lived through) some of these. Scary stuff! Especially, if you're driving, as they come out of nowhere and you can't see a foot ahead. I never did get a photo though. Awesome shot! #5477873Tammy Espino February 11, 2008
