Thanks all, for the comments. I reloaded the page and the image has 11 views but no "Likes". I believe you have to be logged-in (and thus HAVE a log-in [register]) for a Like to be registered. I wonder if more people aren't having difficulties - there are a suspiciously low number of "likes" on almost all the images. Hmmmm. Storm photography is indeed a blast. To be in position to get the good stuff you have to "chase", as in be willing to travel to find the good storms and then be in the proper position for either the cell or a particular feature of the cell (like a wall cloud or the funnel or tornado that it spawns). Since most storms are moving, that means attempting to move with them as they go through their cycles (both lifecycle from birth to death and their cycles of occlusion and growth). It helps to have an interest in weather/meteorology to understand how/where supercells will form and how they behave - which might be in the best position to have a longer life or more likely to be a tornado producer - if that is what you are seeking. Nobody wants to see a tornado be a threat to life or property, and fortunately the vast majority of them occur in open country (which we have a LOT of out here on the Plains). Those of you with Android or iPhones (or iPads) interested in weather would do well to purchase the RadarScope app. It not only brings NEXRAD Level 3 radar imagery in real time to your phone, but also shows your location (if in proximity to the storm) on GPS capable phones. Unbelievable technology for a mobile device for a pittance. Those of you interested in software with a similar capability for your desktop or laptop, checkout grlevelx.com .
