Thunderstorms

Remember a week or so ago I talked about a weird dream of funnel clouds and stuff? And we sorta tried to analyze it? Well, here’s some pictures from last weeks thunderstorms here in the Edmonton area.

It’s no wonder I dreamt of funnel clouds, huh?

  1. Those. Are. Awesome!

    The first two pictures (in case you’re interested) are of the wall clouds that produce tornados and funnel clouds. When you see these at the base of a storm cloud, it’s time to seek shelter. :crazy:

    Laura~ I didn’t take them, a friend did, and emailed them to me. πŸ™‚

    I think they’re strangely beautiful.

    Larissa~ Thanks for the lesson. We’ve had tornados here a couple of times in my life. Not a lot, but often enough that most of us know what sort of dammage they can leave behind. AS much as I’ve seen them before, I never knew the name of that type of cloud, or that it was the start of it. πŸ™‚
    Thanks.

  3. I’m with you—those photos have an awesome kind of beauty!
    Of course, you may also be dreaming of funnel clouds because of the whirlwind of success you’ve been having lately! πŸ™‚
    You’re not in Kansas anymore, chica!

  4. Sasha–NP!

    Steph–considering the fact that meteorology has been my job for 15 years, it’d be scary if I COULDN’T identify those clouds! πŸ˜› (And the calm comes from loving storms! *g*)
