What our sky looked like around eight in the morning on Thursday.I know that weather is not climate, but you have to think that the warming and general climate change we're experiencing is having an effect on the weather. Sometimes it's heat waves, sometimes it's snowstorms, sometimes it's hurricanes, and sometimes it's tornadoes. And sometimes it's even just normal weather.
I also know that there are more people living in more places where not many people used to live. Couple that with instant media, twenty-four hour news cycles, and the fact that everyone has a camera. The result is that anything and everything is recorded and on television and the internet almost instantly.
So there you go. I know that the few people I know in the areas hit by the recent tornadoes are ok. That's good. It's still scary, though.
Wow, that's an incredible photo.

IT was a sobering experience to see this incredible storm from my tv screen. Many lives were saved by early warnings to take cover.
Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.
A beautiful photo... Thanks for sharing it with us! We needed some beauty today, in the midst of so much....
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have seen and photographed such a moment.
