Not so scary storm images.

[Mike Hollingshead]

Ok, a lot of folks seemed to enjoy the scary image thread so why not do the opposite. Some scene/storm that seems more beautiful than anything. Since some other sites are linking this forum I would be really certain to put something on your image unless you want them stolen and passed around as not yours.

May 28, 2004 ne NE. I'll probably be accused of stealing my own image by posting that one.

Thinking of images for this thread I just thought of one of Eric Nguyen's. I'll have to find it and post it, unless he doesn't want it on here for some reason. I am guessing he won't mind the plug. I'm on dial up and listening to music online so it will be a bit before I find it and post it.....

[Tyler Allison]

It's simply not fair that you don't tell the rest of us where you are going to be during storm season. I WANT SOME OF THOSE PICTURES! :P

<hijack>
Mike, When's your next video coming out?
</hijack>

Keeping with the thread. My contribution...not bad considering it was my first attempt at storm chasing. And not in the plains to boot.

I posted this one because it's the first time I've seen drop down gorgeous supercell updraft structure with a tornado occuring at the time. And to top it off, in beautiful rolling green hills south of the Badlands of South Dakota. Probably the top moment of my 2005 chase trip.

Hi,

Awesome pictures!

Aaron, it would be great if dates can be supplied as I am interested what days those images were taken. Same goes to others who haven't - it would be great as it helps give a different perspective!

Hi Dan,

The angle of the South Dakota supercell suggests you were not too far away from where we were. We actually were on top of a shooting range embankment which gave us an excellent view of the storm without obstacles. I recall the staccato lightning so I would say that I have it on video and will get a still later. Did you get a good timelapse of the storm? It rotated beautifully! To keep on track with the thread - perhaps send a private reply.

Back on track, thanks for the locations etc - absolutely incredible pictures. Once can really appreciate what storm chasing is all about when you see the variety of the images displayed here and of course on other galleries.

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

Great thread, awesome pics.

It isn't anything of mine, but I feel that a thread like this simply wouldn't be complete without a link to these incredible pictures (http://imageevent.com/mpurcell/lpsupercell).
Here's a taste:

This astounding LP updraft and tornado occured on 3/21/05 in Marlin TX, where it was photographed by Bill Purcell. Simply amazing.
