I am trying to understand how to read radar, watch movies to understand things about tornadoes. But I don’t know how to tell what a hook is on radar, how to spot the main cloud or if clouds are roatings or just moving. Can some tell me how to learn about this stuff? I DID take a spotting class EARLY this year but I need to keep getting more and more knowledge. My dream is to become a storm chaser (NOT meterolagist) like Reed Timmer and his buddies. Thanks for your help.

Prologue

Slowly I am losing sight of you. Your picture becomes more and more vague with each day, until it will become transparent. I will forget you eventually, and move on. Time can’t heal my heart, but it can cover the scars up with a mask. A mask made by one person. But who? Once again, only time can tell. Only time can tell when I’ll lose sight of you, too.

You are like the only storm cloud rumbiling above my head. You created the thunder, and I created the lightning. Just like any glorious storm, we were two elements that had to be put together. Rain and clouds, sun and rainbows, and of course, thunder and lightning.

Together we stood; but together doesn’t last forever.

There are also storms that don’t usually last long at all. Like tornadoes.

 You were my tornado. You came and went in an instant, taking my barely beating heart with you.

Even though, I will continue to wake up. Even though I will be crying on the inside, I will still remember to breathe. Not for you, though. For me.

I’m not the same person anymore.  Instead I’m the me you have made. Bruised, scratched, beaten, and tossed in the trash like garbage.

With these killer Tornadoes?
I live in Wisconsin – in the foremost region where tornadoes, having started, usually come down our way.
I am not asking this because I’m afraid…but CURIOUS, as to WHY their frequency, and their (Seeming vindictive and angry as all H*ll below!!!) fierceness?
I realize they are lethal, but as a formation of Nature, stating itself, It is a vision so gorgeous to the EYES!
Well, I’m generalizing, and that’s not fair – but to my EYES, Gorgeous of form and because of their power!

YES! I for ONE, find then intimidatingly BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Anyway, any ideas why it seems that the whole of Nature, in its’ varied manifestations of Power and Not denied of Great Beauty – is responding so ferociously?

Secular and Religious questions well received as well as appreciated.

Thank You!

Oh, and just one more thing: Hurricanes are named, but why not tornadoes.
I’d love to see a monstrous one, named Gracie, a la Gracie Alan! (I think that’s the name of the great, late comedienne.

Have you in mind at all, any names you’d call a or more, tornadoes?
Well LinLyons, I do agree with all that you’ve said.Even being able to watch them on the tube is interesting.
However as an artist, I love everything beautiful – Beauty of Nature for example…just about everything in all animals, and also within the insect realm. (Although I heard having this said, by Jeff Goldblum as he turned into (can’t remember the first name – but his surname was Branddlefly) that insect politics are BRUTAL!
As for people, I find no beauty in them, because as insignificantly as they are, FOR THE VERY MOST! – they betray, both their intelligence and one another. So, truly? I’m not one who is swayed by supposed human Beauty. And if ever I consider it, well I stop right there, and look up at the sky – and listen to the clouds, which silently tell you their much varied stories through the gestures upon their faces! I thank you.
Si! – Arch-Angel Gabriel, were you named after the Angel, who looked down at the earth, and man’s activity, as HE; Gabriel – cringed at what man’s has done to the planet!
I once did a marble portrait of Gabriel – but as my work progressed, and I was carving out Gabriel’s face – the expression on his face was so Apocalyptic, that I became frightened, and struck the portrait, hard enough to destroy it! You see, I was in denial, then. But no longer! So…why let that Arch-angel have to look down, at our OWN arrogant behaviour – which by the way, will soon cause our own extinction. Good, Good answer, I thank you! Oh, I have forgotten what in Spanish is the word for arch-angel, so…Is it: Arco-Angelo? well, I tried anyway!

I had this dream, and there were several of them and they weren’t connected to any clouds up above.

Blondy came in Thursday evening with a nice cut on her leg. In the five years I’ve had her she has not been injured. My bf has had her since she was two, she is now 11, and she was treated like a cow, basically sprayed some furason on and let her go. Her cut does not look bad but I know from the swelling their is more than meets the eye. She let me cold hose it once, but won’t let me clean it and barely lets me put ointment on it. This was from the storms that rolled through, we had golf ball and quarter size hail, tornado warnings and swirling clouds, so I left them out. Do not lecture me on that my horse was the only one out years ago when tornadoes came through and the only one to survive when the barn collapsed. I have cleaned and taken care of countless counts on countless horses including a car accident victim. I know how to clean it but have never had a horse so wimpy. She won’t let me get near it now without her lashing out at me. If i try to cold hose she starts to rear, and lash out. It is getting dangerous for her and me. Any ideas? She is actually not lame at all, which is surprising given how swollen and hot it is.
Pics of wound and swelling.

Front view shows the swelling in her front right leg other is of the wound which really doens’t look like much but the top might me deep but I have no idea. Any ideas on cleaning a wound on a horse with no pain tolerance?
Its not infected, yet. She has let me clean it once and it was not there wednesday and there on thursday. It has not had time to get infected. I have been fighting with her cleaning it so i know its not infected yet but if she continues with her attitude it likely will get infected.

Hey(: I used to be a "anti stormist"( for lack of better word). I had a huge fear of storms, thunder, rain, tornadoes ect. I got freaked at the sights of clouds. But now I am over that and knee deep in this obsession with tornados!! I live in Oklahoma so these storms are a bit of a trademark. So, my question. Any sites or books or stuff to fule my tornado obsession?:D thanks!

I think I may be contradicting myself and I think I take the whole situation in the prologue a little too far.. So please tell me what I need to do..

Prologue

Slowly I am losing sight of you. Your picture becomes more and more vague with each day, until it will become transparent. I will forget you eventually, and move on. Time can’t heal my heart, but it can cover the scars up with a mask. A mask made by one person. But who? Once again, only time can tell. Only time can tell when I’ll lose sight of you, too.

You are like the only storm cloud rumbling my head. You created the thunder, and I created the lightning. Just like any glorious storm, we were two elements that had to be put together. Rain and clouds, sun and rainbows, and of course, thunder and lightning.

Together we stood; but together doesn’t last forever.

There are also storms that don’t usually last long at all. Like tornadoes.

You were my tornado. You came and went in an instant, taking my barely beating heart with you.

Some people say the sun will forever shine. Idiots. The sun eventually will fade out, just as I will, too. All because of you. All because you banished me from plain sight, just like any king would do.

Do you see the hole in my heart? You created it. You’re what formed the ache, the utter pain that will not diminish.

You are what makes me cry at night, and drag my feet in the morning.

You’ve beaten me down to a pulp, run me over, and then kicked me while I was down. While I was screaming curses in my head, and I solemnly swore never to lend my heart out again. Ever.

Not that I even have a heart anymore. That thumping sound coming from my chest? Its a decoy. You’re meant to think I’m alive. I am, but barely. I still have an uncreased amount of life energy. Its at its minimum, though. Its not at all what it used to be.

You made sure of that. You had to assure yourself that I was so done for that you could move on.

This is what you wanted.

You wanted to see the tears, you wanted to stomp on me repeatedly, until my breath caught in my throat.

And even though I’m bruised, scratched, beaten, and tossed in the trash like garbage, I still want to live. No matter how much you’ve killed me already.

Even though it feels like glass has been jabbed in my still beating heart, I will continue living life, no matter how shattered I am. I will continue my daily regime just as I had before. However, I won’t be smiling in the mirror any longer.

All thanks to you.

To make it even worse, I am forced to see your heart-breaking face everyday I continue to live and breathe. I could be like the other girls. Jumping happily, beaming bright, fake, toothy smiles, oblivious to the world and whom lives in it.

Like you. You’re just another jerk that goes on breaking girl’s hearts.

However, I will continue to wake up. Even though I will be crying on the inside, I will still remember to breathe. Not for you, though. For me.

I’m not the same person anymore. Instead I’m the me you have made. Bruised, scratched, beaten, and tossed in the trash like garbage.

WASHINGTON BEACH
The girl with the long, silky, brown hair was relaxing on the nice warm, white sand. She loved the salty smell of the ocean, and the soothing sounds the waves made when they curled and spread out. She always got caught up in her head when, the sun hit the water, and made the skies light up in colors of earth tones. No one could ruin this moment, but the storm. It was starting to take over the sea, forcing the water to start to rumble. The clouds began pushing the sun, down with its force, making the color run afar.
Then a streak of lightning struck! She had awakened, and fell right down to reality. She quickly got up, and scuttled home. Rain was falling, as if the clouds were weeping. When she had gotten home her mother was outside yelling, “Ariel! Ariel! Get in the basement! Hurry! Grab your dog and get in the basement!” Arial stood there for a second. Then she ran into the urban styled house, scooped up the tiny dog at the door, and put him in the dark, clammy basement. She turned around, and saw the harsh storm coming! The wind was picking up over by the mountain. It started to swirl, like the dog when he chases his tail. Her mother grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in the basement while shutting the doors. “I hope your father is ok” she said, lighting the candles.
“Mom, daddy is fine.” Ariel picked up her little Chihuahua, and put him in the pen they kept for him, and turned the radio on. “Are we going to be ok? I was down by the beach, and it got grave fast.” “Sweetie, I’m sure we will be fine. Our home might not be.” They both chortled, and sat down. They pondered upon the noises coming from outside. A few hours later the sounds had stopped. The man on the radio said the tornado has died down and is now just finishing and for everyone to remain calm. “Mom, you know when they say remain calm that’s just when I start to worry.” “Oh, stop that, he is just trying to be helpful. Now, let’s listen to what he has to say.”
The man continued and said, “We are very sorry to report this, but almost all of Washington beach is gone. To everyone who is tuning in I repeat Washington beach is almost completely gone. The storm came up on us like a cockroach.” The radio started making ludicrous noises, and gave out. “Oops, I had forgotten to put new batteries in. I am so sorry.”
“Its ok mom, we don’t need that radio anyways. I just can’t believe our home is gone. It is gone just like everything else right? It went so quick.
Mom! What are we going to do?” “We are going to find a phone when we can get out of here, and call your father. He will know what to do next.” Both of them were ready to see the destruction that had occurred. Mother lifted the door of the basement. “Gasp! Er..Uhh..Ariel, Darling, you stay in here and keep an eye on the dog for me. I don’t want her getting hurt; besides she is just a little baby.”
“Mom, I’m not a baby. I am twelve years old! I think I can handle what it looks like.” Mother looked at Ariel and said “Ok, but you still have to stay here so I know where you are.” She took out her distinct, glossy, ebony colored cell phone and held it up towards the evolving sky. “Hmm… No Signal. You have to stay here; I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t find you out there. It is jeopardous out here! Please stay here with the dog.” “Fine, I will stay.” Mother left in search to find a working phone.
After about thirty minutes, Ariel couldn’t take it anymore. She had to go out there. “I could just take a peek. I mean it’s not like a crime or anything, and mom would never know.” She said. “Oh! I have to find a way to bring you, Butterscotch.” She then started searching for an old purse she used to carry him in. “Here it is!” She took the purple bag with the bright orange letters on it, and put the dog in the bag. “Now, let’s go on an adventure.”
She slipped her bright pink rain boots on, and opened the door. To her surprise there was nothing there! Her house wasn’t even there. She just stared at what was left of her white and green, urban styled home. She then looked towards the beach. “Well, at least the beach is there. Although, how could a beach not be there, it has to be there.”
She stepped out of the basement and glanced at a figure from afar. He stopped then started running towards her. “Ariel! I’m so glad I found you! Where on earth have you been?!? Everyone is supposed to be at the town meeting! Common!” he said with a shriek voice. Ariel looked at him with no emotions. “What is the meeting about?”
“I don’t know that’s why we have to go!!! Common!! We have to get going!” The boy pulled on her arm. “Danny, is your house ok?” He didn’t reply. “Danny!” Danny stopped and said, “My house got picked up by the storm.” “Oh, I’m sorry” “No, it’s ok. No one has a house anyways. This whole Island is covered with house materials. It is a disgrace this happened; I wonder where everyone else is.” “I don’t know. I was lying on the beach before the storm. Everyone had gone home, but I didn’t notice.”
“We need to get to that meeting Ariel.” They both started on their way to the meeting. On the way they saw all the real damage that had happened. Trees in the middle of the football stadium, nothing but rubbish everywhere, houses were in streets, and lights were even on the beach! It seemed like there wasn’t even grass, or sand. “Nothing but crap!” “Oh, common Danny we can clean it up. We can make the best of this. This can be the start of a new beginning.” “This could also be a new ending Ariel!” “Stop thinking like that! Now, let’s just get there!” They finally arrived at the meeting. The entire town’s people, along with their leftover belongings, were there.
The mayor had just begun to speak, when they had arrived. The whole town was chattering amongst themselves. The Mayor stood on an old table he had spotted, and said, “Silence! This meeting will go by shortly if we can all participate! Thank you. Now, I as mayor am going to see to it that we can get some help, but until then we all have to work together. Before anyone interrupts me, I would like to say this couldn’t get any worse. You as the people need to get together all the food you have. We will feed everyone equally, and fairly, but first we need order. This means we will have certain groups with certain jobs to fulfill. Everyone must do there job! Ok, so are there any questions, before I give out jobs?” Ten people raise their hands as high as they can reach. “Ok, good no questions. I want everyone in age groups. All the kids by that tire, everyone in there teens by that limping tree thing, Oh! and all the adults over by that bus.” Everyone had started to chit-chat, as they moved. “I told everyone to be quiet! You people must be quiet!”
After everyone had there jobs, Ariel took it upon herself to seek her friends.
Is it bad writing?.. I feel it falls into bad writing. what do you think?

Tornadoes start for whatever reason, but how do they keep going? Energy must come from somewhere. Lightning starts from clouds gently moving overhead. It’s energy must come from somewhere. Are these natural occurrences recreate-able?
My basic question is – the energy must come from somewhere, where does it come from?

Hi,
I am a former wedding photographer of 12 years. July 25, 08
I was attending a wedding rehearsal that I was hired to photograph as well as the wedding. I always arrive early to take photos of the church of every wedding I do. I was not on the clock yet, but I wanted to arrive extra early on this rehearsal because the weather forecast was calling for bad weather and maybe tornadoes, so I wanted to make sure I got the photos of the outside before it started to rain.

As I started to take my photos on this gloomy day, All of a sudden, the sky became really dark, and the clouds started to form right above the church. And I thought that I had better hurry because it was about to rain. Then the clouds slightly parted to allow this very illuminating light from the sky to show. Then the clouds started circling, counter clock-wise around this light. So I started snapping photos like crazy because I thought this was the start of a tornado. How great would it be to get a photo like this for the bride and groom over their church. I was excited because a tornado is something I never took pictures of……

Then, just as quickly as it started, was as quickly the clouds dissipated and it became just gloomy again. I thought how strange that was and just went on because the first person arrived for the rehearsal.

Later, I was looking back at all my photos to decide which to keep or delete to use for this wedding. And this is what I captured……

The first photo is this circle with an image on the ground of a little girl with blond cropped hair. Zoom in to see better.

The second photo is the circle that turned into this light being on the ground. The colors are spectacular.

I did not see these at the time of the photos. I was more focused on the sky. When I first saw the photos I had taken, I was going to delete these because I was in such shock and a little startled. Then I realized that these photos were something special.

Later, I showed my husband and he pointed out the figure of a lady which the clouds formed around the light in the sky also.

I have been a photographer for a long time and I have experience with lighting. These images are not sun spots, glare, reflection. I have never seen this before in my life. I have looked on all the ghost and spirit sites, and I find nothing like this..

I am not sure to even tell my experience or even show my photos. I have for the most part, shared these photos to close friends and family members only. My light being does not scare me or those I have shown. It gives good feelings.

I feel it may be time to share these photos with other people. Maybe these photos will comfort someone who has seen or had experiences with light beings, so they know that they are real. There is something after death. Energy does not end.

I know some people are going to try and say I fixed these photos and there are going to be people who will not believe this and I’m ok with that now. I assure, these are true photos that are not tampered with or fixed. I still have the original chip negative it was taken with.

When I first showed family and friends, some would ask me if I fixed these, and those comments would upset me. Now, I do not care what anyone thinks. I know these are true photos.

Then I am asked what I think it is, an angel, Jesus, Virgin Mary, a spirit.
My answer is, I don’t know. I am no one special, but was chosen, for what ever reason to take the photos, that’s it.

I am not sure what to make of it. You tell me. If you want to see the photo, let me know.

Thank you,
I will try to photobucket and post a link. Check Back
I am not sure how to post the photos…. so here’s my try…..

And those of you who want to be negative…. and say mean things…. I have a life & kids & a JOB that
does not take up all my time and weekends. That’s why former wedding photographer by choice …. I do not just sit on the computer.

I am trying to share my photos for the good…. And those of you who want to badger and cut people down and these photos……well…… that’s your problem…… These photos are for people who have an open mind and need reassurance that things unseen do exist……

When I first showed family and friends, some would ask me if I fixed these, and those comments would upset me. Now, I do not care what anyone thinks. I know these are true photos.

Then I am asked what I think it is, an angel, Jesus, Virgin Mary, a spirit.
My answer is, I don’t know. I am no one special, but was chosen, for what ever reason to take the photos, that’s it.

I am not sure what to make of it. You tell me.

Here is links for my pictures

Each picture has it’s own link. Look at all 5 pictures. The energy I am talking about is on the ground. The light being and ball of light. I cropped these, to take a closer look. These cropped photos are the ones I posted links to.
I am not saying that everyone believes in angels and spirits. But for those of you who do, here is proof.

And for thoses of you who do not believe, how do you think a angel or spirit would appear?

Jesus became an angel / spirit……

There is more out in this world then what we can just see…..

You can’t see air…. but it’s there….. You can’t see love….. but it’s there…..

Think about it

I am a former wedding photographer of 12 years. Wedding photography takes up a lot of time and weekends, I have children and their lives were passing me by, so I now have a 9 to 5, by choice, that is why former. Any way,

July 25, 08
I was attending a wedding rehearsal that I was hired to photograph as well as the wedding. I always arrive early to take photos of the church of every wedding I do. I was not on the clock yet, but I wanted to arrive extra early on this rehearsal because the weather forecast was calling for bad weather and maybe tornadoes, so I wanted to make sure I got the photos of the outside before it started to rain.

As I started to take my photos on this gloomy day, All of a sudden, the sky became really dark, and the clouds started to form right above the church. And I thought that I had better hurry because it was about to rain. Then the clouds slightly parted to allow this very illuminating light from the sky to show. Then the clouds started circling, counter clock-wise around this light. So I started snapping photos like crazy because I thought this was the start of a tornado. How great would it be to get a photo like this for the bride and groom over their church. I was excited because a tornado is something I never took pictures of……

Then, just as quickly as it started, was as quickly the clouds dissipated and it became just gloomy again. I thought how strange that was and just went on because the first person arrived for the rehearsal.

Later, I was looking back at all my photos to decide which to keep or delete to use for this wedding. And this is what I captured……

The first photo is this light circle with an image of a little girl with blond cropped hair. The light ball is located on the ground. Zoomed in to see better.

The second photo is the light circle that turned into this light being on the ground. The color of the light ball is the same color as the bottem of the light being. The colors are spectacular. They were taken 13 seconds apart.

I did not see these at the time of the photos. I was more focused on the sky. When I first saw the photos I had taken, I was going to delete these because I was in such shock and a little startled. Then I realized that these photos were something special.

Later, I showed my husband and he pointed out the figure of a lady which the clouds formed around the light in the sky also.

I have been a photographer for a long time and I have experience with lighting. These images are not sun spots, glare, reflection or lens flare. I have never seen this before in my life. I have looked on all the ghost and spirit sites, and I find nothing like this..

I am not sure to even tell my experience or even show my photos. I have for the most part, shared these photos to close friends and family members only. My light being does not scare me or those I have shown. It gives good feelings.

I feel it may be time to share these photos with other people. Maybe these photos will comfort someone who has seen or had experiences with light beings, life after death experience, so they know that they are real. There is something after death. Energy does not end.

I know some people are going to try and say I fixed these photos and there are going to be people who will not believe this and cut it down….and….. Well…… I’m ok with that now. Some day those people will know I am telling and showing the truth. I assure, these are true photos that are not tampered with or fixed. I still have the original chip negative it was taken with.

Then, I am asked what I think it is, an angel, Jesus, Virgin Mary, a spirit.
My answer is, I don’t know. I am no one special, but was chosen, for what ever reason to take the photos, that’s it.

Personally, I think it is an angel.

Things do exist that you can not see.

You can’t see air, but it’s there.

You can’t see love, but it’s there….

I am not sure what to make of it. You tell me, Angel, spirit, Jesus, V Mary, ghost?

These photos have been cropped closer to see better. These are the ones I have sent links for.

Please look at all 6 links.

Okay let me start if off with what I am using.
Canon SD780 IS Point and Shoot Camera
4ft Tripod

Right now I love to photograph weather events such as tornadoes, funnel clouds, clouds, lightning and other anomalies. I feel I had taken decent photographs of lightning for a point and shoot but the issue is if I go further than a 10second shutter speed in general since I believe the camera has around a max of F4 the picture becomes over exposed or whited out. I find the key range to be between 3-6second exposure, especially since I am in a residential area. However this is also too short to fully capture a branched lightning strike.
I am also looking for advice in general of Macro Photography and Sunsets.
Here are the images of lightning I was able to take: http://amdrick.deviantart.com/gallery/#Lightning
Here are my other images if you have any advice. http://amdrick.deviantart.com/gallery/

Thanks, Rick
Sorry here is the link, I guess you need to C/P it into your address bar as it isn’t hot-linking it.

I saw a clip on youtube of these news reporters talking about this type of storm. It looked really cool and i recently forgot the name but i can’t find the video because i dont know what to type.. i cant find it..
it’s not a tornado but from what i recall, it looks like a wall of clouds moving in one direction on the ground
nope not a microburst..

it’s something u can see..like a tornado
u cant be in it or u’ll probably die

its like a bunch of tornados put together only minus the spinning and the funnel shape
its a wall of tornados kinda

Being a storm chaser has always called my attention… it would be great also to know a storm chaser’s opinion.

So I had a dream that I can’t figure out-happened several weeks ago but its still haunting me: so I see one of those tornadoes you see in super mario bros 3 sweeping across one world to another (have no idea why I saw this- havent played video games since I was a teen) anyways, I then feel as if I’m inside this tornado and its moving me across a great distance without throwing me down, then suddenly I see myself being pulled forcefully through mid-air in the clouds by a kite that I’m holding the string to, but when I look up at the kite above, I find the string is actually attached to a dark grotesque dragon slightly covered in foggy clouds with huge claws pulling me forward high in the air for a couple minutes; suddenly I find myself near ground level in an open park-like area of a city with brick-streets and its around noon-afternoon and sunny, and the dragon seems to vanish but kind of turns into an invisible kite and pulls me forward strongly one last time and then disappears into thin air and I land on the brick street there..
nice answer, yeah I can kind of relate to that sometimes I have trouble letting go of past things..
another cool answer, heard about dragon analogies and losing the temper..
ok I meant that I’ve heard of tornado analogies to temper before..

Hi, I’m Rebecca..
I have reoccurring nightmares about the end of the world. They’re very vivid and frightening. I get them very frequently to be honest, and it scares the living hell out of me. I’ll share a few for examples.
In my dream once, it was thunder storming, very bad. My grandma is very catholic, I turned to her and I asked if she thought the world was going to end, she said no, so I felt at ease. I went downstairs and I relaxed. All of a sudden, the sky turned black, I, again asked her if she thought the world will end, she then said yes. The sky turned to blood red, and my whole family, dropped dead except for my siblings and I. I ran outside trying to find someone I know, everyone was running to churches, screaming, crying, they were shooting guns, people were bleeding to death, & I had no idea where I was..I didn’t know anyone, then I woke up.

Another dream was where, again the sky was red. This time was more calm. There was fire all around & tornadoes. Trains and planes were both crashing. Volcanoes were erupting, ash everywhere. Houses destroyed. There was an asteroid heading torwards Earth. These people thought they could launch something at it and destroy it, instead, it turned right around and destroyed Earth, I then woke up.

The last one I’ll share with you, is the most recent one. It wasn’t necessarily the end of the world, but the end of life. I was on the phone, blue skies, nothing big going on. I looked outside, and there was a tornado like figure. It honestly looked like a waterfall, there were no clouds. People were taking pictures, standing an arms lenghth away from it. I went outside to catch a glance when the wind barely sucked me up, I fell and had to hold on too the wood from the deck to survive. I then went downstairs and watched the tornado from above. From the window, I saw all my animals dead..floating in the water, I then wokeup.

These dreams are really getting to me, and I hate waking up to them, someone please help..
