Washington, IL Tornado

 

Just saw this for the first time the other day. A former softball teammate who I also coached (our daughters) with is the driver for this chase team. Pretty nicely broken down.

 

Had no idea he was a weather geek until he started posting some stuff on FB last summer!

 

Enjoy.

Figured I'd start a thread dedicated to pictures of nature, weather, the earth, etc.

 

Here are some pics of the Aurora Borealis I found:

These are just gorgeous. Some people thought it was a sign from heaven. In a way, it was,-a nice one.

 

The colorful luminescence is caused by the sun's light being refracted by water droplets and ice crystals in the cloud, said, Eladio Solano, a meteorologist with Costa Rica's National Meteorological Institute, according to Costa Rica media outlet Teletica News.

Waterfalls are also considered one of the most attractive sites in the world. Tourists also enjoy watching the green mountains and waterfalls.

I don't know which volcano this is but it's an awesome photo taken directly above an eruption.

A primordial image of the 2018 eruption of Kiluea Volcano.

 

This must be what the world looked like millions of years ago.

There are 28 amazing and beautiful images. You have to take a bit of time and check them out.

The stunning shots have been revealed as the winners of an international panoramic photography contest.

Every February, when weather conditions allow, Horsetail Fall on the eastern side of El Capitan appears to turn into a waterfall of fire or molten lava. With enough rainfall and clear skies, the lava-like effect occurs at sunset over a two-week stretch when the angle of the setting sun hits it just right.

Valentin Zhiganov, 44, shot the incredible pictures of the rare optical illusion near his home city of Apatity in Murmansk Oblast, Russia in temperatures of minus 30 degree Celsius. His images show the aurora – also known as ‘light pillars’ – mixing with the lights of the city while the local power plant looms in the background.

I took this photos a few weeks ago looking south from SW Ft. Worth area.

I was so excited to see a double rainbow I stood in the mist and grabbed a dozen photos.

 

This was a full ground to ground arch double rainbow. My camera could catch it all it was so close

Many yrs ago my uncle stood inside a rainbow. He said he felt transported to another reality.

I know understand how early man must have marveled at these miracles from the gods.

 

Sorry for the sideways post. I can't seem to right it.

It doesn't matter how you feel about aliens or anything related. This is just cool.

Located near McMurdo Station ont he South Pole, this is an eyebrow raiser.

Not sure what to make of this as NASA conducted a study on the moon wobble. Warns of coastal floodings by mid-2030s, but this is a common occurrence about every 19 years. With the moon wobble this causes extreme high and low tides, but as sea levels continue to rise, we could see significant flooding.

Some pretty cool photos in this topic. Thanks for sharing everyone.

It's been a few years since anyone has posted.  Maybe we can get this going again. 

I’ve done most of the posting here. Somewhere there are files going back 18 yrs or so.  
I’ve developed serious back and bone issues. Surgery, more to come.   
But the colder climate has my curiosity peaked so I’m reading.  
 

I also am a writer and I have another book to get out but I’ll be around.

Yeah, lots of really great stuff you shared!

I hope your back and bone issues get better as well.  I can imagine it's very limiting. 

Hopefully I and others can share some neat stuff to make you smile and brighten your day.

If you’re interested in learning more about astrophotography, this might be a nice start.   
McCarthy took this remarkable and beautiful photo of Saturn.
