Tornado Alley [Tornado Pictures & Wind Pictures]
Uploaded: June 15, 2009 03:17:20
The Dallas area has been hammered during the past few days with very serious storms. After one of the storms passed Leena and I went out just before sunset and found a high spot on the ranch near our home to photograph from. Another image from the storm is in the comments section....

We've had a stormy season, too, here in Colorado. Lots of rain, and several tornado warnings and funnel cloud sightings. A couple of tornados that touched down and caused some damage. Wonderful looking sky, though, as long as you're safe. #7637232Kathleen Rinker June 16, 2009
Wow beautiful image but I sure and glad you and Leena are okay, take care and be safe!!! #7637555Pamela Shane June 16, 2009

WOW...AND WOW again...absolutely stunning colors and capture. #7637881Tommy E. Burgess June 17, 2009
Stunning and scary at the same time jeff. The sky is so dramatic. This seems to be somewhat of a weird year with May being somewhat tame and June following patterns more closely related to what we get with Mays patterns. I'm actually tired of tornado warning myself. Gorgeous capture here though!! #7638797
