WOW they almost look fake

Hurricanes make very cool skylines. I love watching the sky as the outer bands start rolling in. The sky looks beautiful with the crazy cloud formations and their quick movement, but you can feel impending doom in the air. It's a wierd feeling.

LOL That's funny you write that because I was going to describe hurricane skylines that same way but I wasn't sure people would get the reference. The clouds do kind of resemble sci-fi movies when they mask alien movement. Okay, now back to your normally scheduled non-dorkdom thread. :laugh1:

That's not hurricane Katrina.
Those are wall clouds (tornado spawners) somewhere in the mid-west.
Oklahoma, I believe.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks alot like Iowa.

Hurricane Katrina was alot bigger.

Cornfields in New Oleans?

Thats what my boss said when he saw them. I was stationed in OK for 10 years and didnt recognize them, wow did I ever do a good job forgetting that place.

A friends emailed me a power point presentation from Biloxi (alot of us went to tech school there years back) what a mess. If anyone wants a peek I'll fwd it on to a few of you

I was thinking that as well. I go (used) to go to New Orleans three or four times a month on business and it didn't look familiar.

the midwest. Some of those pictures come from a storm that was up here this summer in Lethbridge, Alberta. It resulted in torrential rains in the province of Alberta and flooded areas of the city of Calgary.

I find them to be beautiful in a threatening sort of way.
Kinda like women.

Yes, they are nice pics.

I lived in Lawrence Kansas for 8 years, and one summer my wife's...ex now...parents came thru on their way back to Des Moines Iowa so my wife went with them and I was going to drive to Des Moines after work and my softball game on Friday.

We got rained out in the 2nd inning and I drove for 4 and a half hours through skies that looked like that, and even worse, skies that were like that, but it was too dark to see them except when lightning flashed.

The clouds were literally at the tops of the utility poles.

The hair was standing up on the back of my neck and my pulse was going right through the roof.

Is this heaven.....no it's Iowa

You are right WG they are cool pics

 

[diehard2294]
