Check out these photos of the actual hurricane. There are links to 5 or 6 on that page.

[Eek!]

edit: just kidding. It's a tornado. [Big Grin]

Wow. I loved the blue one. Weather is incredible.

If I saw the one linked at "Katrina 6" (acutally katrina3.jpg - go figure) I'd swear it was the end of the world. <shivers>

Karl: It does sorta look like Gozer the Gozarian is about to pop out of that blue spot in the cloud doesn't it?

Yeah, or the hull of one of those "ID4" ships. [Big Grin]

The one directly linked to in the post is the one that would scare me.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Wow, those are some amazing pictures. I think I'd be absolutely terrified if something like that came close to me.

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

They're beautiful. Wow.

Posted by Katarain (Member # 6659) on :

It is beautiful.

But it's not Katrina.

I did think they looked more "tornado-y" than hurricaney. But then, I've never seen a hurricane, so I figured they just must look more like tornadoes than I pictured them.

I thought the landscape looked surprisingly midwestern for the gulf coast. Still, very cool pictures.

Looks like The Nothing...

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

yeah they also struck me as very tornadoey. Felt like I was watching clips from Twister.

The pictures on the photographer's website are spectacular though.

Posted by Nell Gwyn (Member # 8291) on :

Photos like that make me wish I were a storm chaser.

Weather is so beautiful...if only it would just stay in the sky!

Posted by Tstorm (Member # 1871) on :

I wasn't going to call it a hoax when I read this thread yesterday. The landscape smacked of midwest to me immediately, but cloud formations can stun you almost anywhere. And remember, hurricanes do spawn tornados.

I saw those pictures and one word entered my mind: supercell.

I'm glad someone remembered snopes, cause I obviously can't. [Smile]

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

The last one reminded me of a tornado a lot.

Posted by Soara (Member # 6729) on :

The last one. Wow. [Eek!]

There is one on the page, and the rest are labeled "katrina 2" through "katrina 7" [Wink]
