Great American Desert Storm

Here are some amazing pictures of clouds from a storm last month here in Nebraska, near Hastings. (HT to Nick) This one shows some "rotation," which is definitely not what you want in a storm cloud.



We saw some like these next ones, but not so dramatic, here in Lincoln on Saturday night.




UPDATE 6/9/05: Apparently at least the second and third of these spectacular storm pictures come from Jorn Olson, who has a copyright notice on them at that site. His site with more great pictures is here. I am requesting permission to keep them here, too.

UPDATE2 6/9/05: Mr. Olsen has graciously allowed us to display these two pictures and provided improved versions (now in place).
