It sounds like a real adrenaline rush.
I know I've said it before, but one of these days I'm going
storm-chasing out on the flat lands. In Soviet Kentucky, storm chases you!

Yes indeed, Walt! Although I have to say that it didn't feel terribly
warm to us! But it was screaming. You had to lean back into it just
to remain standing, at times. I was a little concerned that it was
going to blow my tripod (with video camera on it) completely over. The
outflow winds (cold exhaust from the storm) would be blowing in the
opposite direction and are far down behind the precipitation.

Wow am I a GOOBER sometimes (most times, truth be told). I've just

You have no idea how heartening it is to read that.
I also think I used the wrong white balance. That sort of limits the
quality you can get out of a panorama, but that didn't stop me from
trying. This was taken from a number of vertical shots stitched
together using Microsoft ICE and then cleaned up some in Photoshop.
The storm was just beginning to tornado in the distance (just left of
center). I've got a much larger version of it, but didn't want to
upload that to Flickr. Hope you enjoy it, such as it is:

That's a very cool shot! I take it the bending grass is on account of the
warm surface air inflow into the storm?
