Storm Cloud *Update

This is a picture of Irene coming into Virginia.
Not Irene!  Random commenter informed me it is a storm from August 10.  Irene was nowhere in sight!




Wow.

  1. That's not Irene. A 600-mile-wide hurricane would have a curvature so slight in the photographed area that it would look like a straight line. That's a "supercell," a large and violent thunderstorm. Wherever and whenever it was taken, it's definitely not a picture of Irene—you can tell by the use of the photo in this blog entry from August 10, when Irene was still far, far out at sea.

  4. I remember as a child visiting Kansas, a storm of this nature came. I was terrified, had never seen anything like it.
    Bet somewhere in my young brain were images & conjuring thoughts, of "Wizard of Oz" other than that I loved Kansas. Storm was remarkable beautiful, as I clung to my Dad(aka never left his lap:)
