Dodged a Bullet

Postby Mobius » Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:52 pm

We had a rather interesting night night weather-ise here.  We had two tornado warnings tonight, and luckily, the storms split us.  I did get a couple of pictures of the huge clouds that were to our north-east, and south-west.

Here's the radar image, I'm where the target is (just to the left and a little above the word "Madison" in the middle), and the storms are going in the direction of the white arrows (they are also the two that produced tornadoes)...

The north-eastern storm...

The south-west storm...

The north-east storm (just after I left Best Buy, as you can see) ;D...
Image

Right as I took this picture, the tornado sirens started, but there was really no danger...
Image

...because the skies were clear to North Dakota :)...

I still don't know if anybody was injured, or anything damged, so hopefully everything is okay, but I don't think anything to bad happened. :P  But, thanks for looking. :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah wji, I know what you mean, my step-father is from Cody, WY, so we go out there every summer, and clouds like that are really an everyday occurance, but they aren't really storms like this one was. :) ;)
