    I thought I'd scene these pics before. Here's what Snopes had to say...

    Still really cool photos, though.

    I was glad to read what snopes had to say because my first thought was that is NOT a hurricane, and my second thought (especially on those last few pics) is that is NOT the Gulf Coast. Still, awesome pics.

    They're from a storm chaser's camera.

    And they are beautiful photos. Imagine the sense of awe one would have being at the actual scene....

    They're from this guy's site here: extreme instability

    If you like the images above there are many more at the site (videos as well).

    I am in awe of nature, always been.

    Like a beautiful woman, it seduces you with its beauty, and then it destroys you ;)

    Wow those are awesome, but they are much much too small to be an actual hurricane. The only way I can imagine seeing a hurricane from that point of view (seeing both sides) is say, from a mountain top. And then it would be too high to see it from below.

    Wow. Nice pics - I thought they were sci-fi paintings or something at first. Many still don't look like they're from this planet.. :eek:

    Awesome. Just awesome.

    I kind of wanted to use them as desktop wallpaper. But these photos depict a natural disaster waiting to happen. Who knows if anyone lost their homes or, worse, their lives, to these storms. So I would feel weird looking at these everytime I turn on my computer.
