Just thought I would share them with you!!

Roger

 

Where did ya get em?

 

My sister sent them to me in an e-mail that she got that had been forwarded multiple times from who knows who!!

Roger

 

I say Hoax.

Only cause I have been sent pictures in the past of storms that have been forwarded multiple times and were fake

They looked very similar, too.

Neat pics though.

 

I agree with you Adrynalyne...hoax! In fact I would go as far as to say they aren't all of the same storm.

 

Yup...that's what I was saying!!!!

Roger

 

I'll never understand why people fabricate stuff like this..guess it's just to generate more email Storm pictures are actually from a storm in Orangeville, ON Canada.

If you search storms in Canada you will find other pics from the same storm.

 

Interesting!!!!

Roger

 

Isn't it though? I originally saw these pics several months ago..they, and others from this storm were on a storm chaser site and one of the Canada weather sites that is similar to our national weather service. It irritates me that people manipulate things the way they do with emails...like you said...you got the email from your sister and it was one of those ones that had been forwarded umpteen times...wonder how many people actually 'fall' for it? And they say our news media is full of sensationalism...lol

sensationalism

n 1: subject matter that is calculated to excite and please vulgar tastes 2: the journalistic use of subject matter that appeals to vulgar tastes; "the tabloids relied on sensationalism to maintain their circulation"

 

You got these in an email saying thare pics of a huricane ???? Thows are all pics of storms in oklahoma / texas ( some supercells ) ....One of my hobbys is local storm chacing...Check this out if ya whanna see some good storm pics.. in fact most of thows pics ( if not all ) are from his site ....look here for real huricane pics......thares normaly not mutch to see in a huricane just a LOT of wind and rain....an australian supercell at sunset........................

 

I agree they are pics of supercells and/or similar storms...which I have seen myself up close and personal..scary and fascinating at the same time but they occur in many places...NY, FL, TX, etc. They are more common in the middle states but that's not the only place they pop up. You say the pics rogvalcox posted are from the site you link too but I don't see any of them there. Can you provide a direct link to the pics rog posted on that site? This is gonna bug me as I can't see a reputable weather (Canada) website like our NOAA fabricating the location of a storm...

 

I believe most of those pics are from a storm chaser named Mike Hollingshead. All pics of tornadoes or forming tornadoes.

http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/storm.asp

This link has a link to Hollingshead's site as well, where there are a lot more pics like those below.

 

Hmm Iowa ....never whould have thought....Mike Hollingshead and the guy form WV lightning go on chaces together on his yearly trip to the plains i beleave....http://wvlightning.com/chase2005.shtml

 

I'm just curious as to who was sitting around with that much time on their hands to think....hhmmmm...I think I'll fabricate a fake e-mail just for the hellof it...then I'll send it out to a whole bunch of people...for absolutely no reason, and lie to them and tell them it is such, n' such!!!! Get a life!!!!

Oh well...don't guess it really matters huh!!??

On another note, though...I think it would be awesome to be a storm chaser!!!!

Roger

 

Awesome pics, though. Bazza

 

Happens every time there's an event like this. There were a bunch of pics of an annual Chinese river flood that circulated after the tsunami last January, there are several pics that claim to be taken from ships in the ocean during various hurricanes...

If only everyone who forwarded an email would think to check it out first (Snopes is a great site, and good starting point, as well as a couple of others), then my inbox wouldn't be nearly so full.

 

No Joke!!!!

I see atleast two or three repeats everyday, of junk and forwarded crap!!!!

Roger

 

Ok I found the pic I was origonely ganna post ....a tornado and supercell in Red Cloud Nebraska......

 

Wow, that last one is amazing.

 

i never knew we had supercells down here!!!
looks pretty spectacular though.. an amazing picture.
do you have any pictures from your storm chasing?

 

Nothing in digitl form all negetives ( i lost all my prints ) I have a fue good shots of mummatus and a little lightning..ill post some if i can .....

 

Don't have pics, but I can say none of those are of a hurricane. Having been threw hurricanes & tornados, I would much rather go threw a hurricane, than to deal with tornados. Tornados are much more destructive than hurricanes. Smaller scale yes, but alot more powerfull,\.
