Yes, but not for another 30-45 mins later one county North East of me. But all day, all weekend, it was a wild ride. One cell after another. I shots 11 roll sin one weekend. Everything from double rainbows, to shelf and wall clouds to hail storms to funnel clouds. At one point the entire sky as far as I could see was yellow. And a distant rain band was slowly approaching. The adreniline really starts to pump. I don't have an incar radar yet so it gets frantic at times.

Awesome shot!! Wouldn't want to be there!!

6/10/2005 2:05:19 PM

Whoa! This is such an awesome capture! I cannot image being there and seeing this in person. I guess I need to call my family in WI to see how they faired! What county was it where it touched down at? Sawyer?

6/10/2005 2:19:47 PM

nope, Clark County, Rusk County and Dunn county got the brunt, Northern Chippewa County got some of it.

How cool is that!!!!! I Would have liked to seen it, but yet I'm glad it didn't make it across Lake Michigan.

Love this shot! I grew up in Okla. and we saw alot of weird clouds and changes in the weather in a matter of minutes. It was fun and scarey at the same time!

the heart sure does get pumping doesn't it, when looking so small up against mother nature?

There isn't a rush like it.

This is such an incredibly intriguing image!! I could stare at it for a long time! But I hope I never have to see it in person. It would terrify me!!!!

7/6/2005 10:44:47 PM

thanks susanna-I shot this and submitted it into the scarey Travel contest last month.

I shot this when I had my Minolta SLR 35mm. I now have a Canon Rebel XT, and am loving it. Getting use to it, only had it 1 week:)
