Jan Cartwright, 6 months ago

Whenever we humans get a little too arrogant, nature flexes a little muscle and shows us how insignificant we really are. This is amazing – glad you’re obviously still here to display the image. Must have been a frightening, but exciting photo shoot!

Barbara Morrison, 3 months ago

Do you chase tornados? I’ve never seen a photo get so many comments. We all curious, but most of us don’t want to be in harms way.

HarrietRN, 3 months ago

Kenneth, I just came across this photo, and very well done.

Living in Oklahoma, of course these are familiar to me, I find tornado’s very fasinating, although I respect them greatly/

May of 1999, was the worst year Oklahoma had for tornado’s, It is amazing the damage and devastion that is made in the path of one of these, and then perhaps across the street nothing at all will be touched.

Tornado season is coming upon us quickly.

I love your work, and thank you for being there for us chasing these tornado’s, without you all being out there, there would be many more lives lost.
