After the Tornado -- 1

Some of you may remember me talking about the tornados that swept across Southern Wisconsin one night last August. Eighteen funnels were spotted, with sightings only a mile from me and a small community near Stoughton was severely damamaged by an F3 twister. It was a scary night but there were few injuries and only one death due to our alert weathermen.

After the storm a giant wall cloud sat on the eastern horizon and I went out with my camera and managed to get some amazing cloud pictures. Naturally they fail to fully capture the moment, since the cloud was so long (about a mile!) it would not fit in a single frame, not even when I tried switching to panoramic mode (and sorry - the couple I tried did not turn out as well as those I will be sharing this week).

Anyway, here are the first couple I plan to post this week.
