A few Tornado Clouds

[Chael]

Been away for some time, but still manage to get out and shoot.

I was sitting at home with my boys looking out back at the storm clouds as they passed when I noticed a huge front coming at us swirling. I grabbed the camera. After running outside I found out from the nieghbors there was a tornado watch on what was passing right overhead. Here are a few shots:

This was just after the main tornado center had passed.




Hail it dropped



The tail end of the storm going away



But not before having this right above my house as the sun was setting. Looks like a fire in the sky!




I also shot this pano by hand. Did not match up so good on the ground stuff, but the clouds came out nice.




One of the most spectacular storms I have seen.

Wow! That "fiery" cloud is amazing.

The Pano shot reminds me of Close Encoutners or the Independance Day space ships coming in the clouds!

Thanks for the comments. Gotta give credit to Mother Nature on this one though.
