Description

This is a different view of the same approaching storm I posted http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1673233 I am not a meteorologist but think this is what is referred to as a wall cloud. Note the updraft and curling back on itself. This starts a horizontal rotation that gets the weather men's attention that things can get nasty. The next thing the meteorologist look for is "the hook". That is when the high internal winds begin to rotate in a vertical axis. Thanks for all the comments. I have two more photos of this storm as it begins to break up.

A very dark and foreboding shot. There's been way too many tornadoes across the country this year and many have lost their lives and thousands more have lost their homes. With the earthquakes, typhoons and tornadoes happening with increasing frequency it leads me to wonder if something worse is coming.
