Great tornado (& lightning) photos

Wow!

This guy has some great shots of the Gruver, Texas tornado of May 5th, 1993, and also Laverne, Oklahoma!

EDIT: Also check out some of his lightning photos. There are a lot at dusk with fiery sunset colors - especially the one with the bolt reflected in the road! Wish I could do that type of exposure....

I like some of his lightning images - but not too impressed with some of the photoshop tornadoes.

That's Warren's old chase partner Tom Willett Lightning Smiths (http://www.lightningsmiths.com/)

Tom seems like a really cool person.

Wow, those lightning images are spectacular!

Pretty cool images.

Actually, those photoshop tornadoes weren't as bad as some of the ones they've stuck in weather picture books. IMO, it takes a lot of skill to put together a digital tornado that doesn't look too pristine (there's always a little fuzziness in real life images).
