This is one of the things I do not miss about Kansas. The one of the trees is amazing, showing the force of the wind. Head for the basement if you have one. I'm glad you are alright I thought of you went I saw the pictures on the news. Take care Richard. bonita

Yes it certainly does look like there was some convection in the clouds. I find these storms very frightening---yet strangely fascinating. Awesome photos!

Very dramatic set of images. I don't think I have enough nerve to chase a tornado. I'll save that bit of heroism for someone else. ;c)

Good quadrant of shots depicting the impending ferociousness of nature. Those black clouds look truly ominous. Kind of looks like watercolor art. For your sake, glad is didn't develop into a tornado.

Fantastic set of pictures! I got to fly over the area from Atlanta to California and had a roller coaster ride from about Alabama to Arizona due to the thunderstorms in the area and your tornado. Excellent captures. Bunny

Sure looks like it would have been a tornado in a few more seconds. Scarey stuff.

We actually had clouds just like that here on Thursday!! I caught shots of one that looks just like yours!!! They are rare in California but they do happen - luckily they don't get that big but still a bit scary seeing the beginnings just like this one! We have a cellar which is also rare in CA - I was kinda glad for that fact this day! I would have overcome my fear of the Black Widows down there immediately - I've seen the destruction first hand in Iowa when visiting family - not a pretty sight. Sorry for the loss of life on this day and thank you for sharing this moment in time with us.

I am so sorry for the loss of life, dear Richard. These shots are superb, I am so glad you were safe. I am very afraid of powerful storms like this. Hugs my kind Sir, take care of you. Diane.

Outstanding pictures. Looks as though you were in for a real storm and I am glad it didn't turn into a tornado at your place. We did have some news coverage of the tornado of your last posting and it looks to have caused a huge mess. A shame 2 lost their lives. They must be very frightning to experience. Thank goodness they are very rare in New Zealand.
