6/17/2004: Beautiful storm
 Sometimes IotDs call out to be IotDs on the basis of beauty alone. A tremendous one via MSNBC. |

I am a total weather buff and I find images like this one exceedingly spectacular.

It looks like it wants to be a tornado. But damn, what a beautiful tornado, huh?

If I saw anything that looked like that, I'd either be headed for the basement, or firing up the transmitter to contact the mothership.

You have to be careful with lightning
We had more bad-ass thunderstorms move through Houston this morning. My dogs were terrified.
It let up around 9:00, so I went to work. A couple of hours later, I see on the Houston Chonicle website that a woman was killed by lightning, less than a mile from my house. Story here There but for the grace of whatever I believe in... |

I think I can honestly say that that is the best IOTD that I've ever seen here. Absolutely fabulous.

it looks almost too perfect. how reliable is msnbc as a source? could it have been enhanced? the clouds in the foreground seem a little too smooth.

You'd need a very high rez version to be able to tell, that would be naturally fairly smooth and JPEG artifacting makes it impossible to even hazard a guess now.
