Touchdown!

Thanks Dayonda, for the compliment, and also the suggestions. A few of these are new to me and I’ll follow up today.

Thank you Rebecca, I don’t think it was an actual tornado, but close to it. I was hoping for some real closeups but the rain came so suddenly and so intense it was impossible to see clearly enough.

Thank you, it was pure luck being in the right place at the right time.

Thanks Rosiczka, much appreciated!

Thank you Steve, glad you liked it.

Thanks Jerame, once in awhile something really unusual comes along. This was it!

Thank you my friend, and I was really pleased to get a few good images.

Thanks Stephen, not often I get a chance to see something like this!
It really pays to always have the camera close at hand.

Thank you Richard, but in truth, there wasn’t much choice other than to turn around and reverse direction, and it was a fast moving storm so don’t think it would have worked. But, I’m glad we managed to get some good shots!

Thanks Stan, but you know what it’s like on a lot of secondary roads..where do you go? Anyway, I was pretty sure it wasn’t a true tornado so didn’t expect to become airborne..lol!But it was sure windy and a deluge for a short time.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m glad you liked it.

Thank you Helen. I must admit I had some concerns, but there was really nowhere to go, as it was a very fast moving storm. So I kept shooting in between the downpours of rain. There’s several others of the same storm on my site and I think I have a couple still to post.

Yes, it was a bit scary but moving so fast it didn’t matter too much, couldn’t get out of the way!

Thanks Rikki, and it’s probably a pretty good description!

Thank you Daniel, much appreciated.

Thanks Barb, didn’t know I had the Feature until you told me..just turned the PC on..lol. Very nice surprise and thanks also for the congrats.

Thanks very much, I really appreciate the compliment.

Thanks Paul, glad you liked it, and thanks for the name of the new group. I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks Jennifer, I’m not sure I wanted to get near this one but didn’t have any choice. Glad you liked it.

Thanks very much Andrew, but not sure what you mean by OK..Oklahoma maybe? This photo was taken in the eastern part of Ontario province, Canada. They get violent sudden storms like this quite often in the summer and early fall. I was just passing through on my way from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, and it found us..lol!

Thanks Kala, it was a storm right out of the blue and no place to go, so the best thing was to sit tight and take pictures. :)

Thanks Dennis, Not sure exactly what it was, it looked like just a heavy rain cloud and a few minutes later we had this dead ahead.

Many thanks Pip, glad you liked it. It has been pretty popular! And many thanks for the Featured Feature.

Thank you! There was no time to think about the situation and nowhere to go, so all that was left was to hang on and get pictures..LOL!!

Many thanks BigD, apologize for being late! And that’s a GREAT icon you have..really,really well done!

Thanks Richard, very much appreciated!

Thanks Chazz! I said much the same thing when I saw that thing coming at us..LOL!

Hello John, and many thanks. Glad you liked it. BTW, did you see a movie called The Thornbirds? Starred Richard Chamberlain, and was mostly set in Australia on a big ranch called Drogheda, I was never sure where the name originated from.

Hi Michelle, thanks for the compliment. You’re right, when opportunity comes along it really can be exciting, especially with something like that coming at you..lol!

Hi, good to see you again..thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

Hello, thanks for dropping by.. appreciate your kind comment!

We had nowhere to go…LOL!

I would have if there had been anywhere to go..lol! As it was we just sat in the car and did a rock n’ roll for awhile!

Thanks John..the only time in my life that I was in the right place at the right time for that sort of scene!

Hi Ruth, thanks very much again for featuring my work, greatly appreciated!
