Day 99 of 365

Chased from eastern Nebraska to northwestern Iowa yesterday. This was one of about 5 tornadoes we saw (most of them at night, including a couple wedges). One of the tornadoes we saw was the Mapleton, IA tornado, which wiped out the town. Sometimes you feel like an idiot taking photos of something like this when you know that peoples' lives are in danger. You really just have to keep reminding yourself that nature will do what nature does whether you're taking photos or not. If you're wondering why the color looks funny in this photo/why it's so grainy, it's because it was lit by flashes of lightning and I had to use a high ISO to freeze the tornado. All in all, it was an absolutely incredible chase :nod:

I did some construction in Mapleton (my hometown is Denison, which isn't that far from the town) not too long after the tornado ran over it. It was a sad sight, believe me.

nice picture :)
It must be really scary when you see a tornado in real.. But you chased them? so this wasn't close to your home?

Think of it in terms of history, or science.
If it weren't for that film of the Hindenburg we probably would not know so much about what went wrong.
Same for the twin towers.
I can safely say you are the furthest thing from an idiot that I know....and I know idiots, believe me.

I can hear someone somewhere saying "it takes one to know one".

Lol well I don't think you're an idiot. The true idiots are the ones who are silent and don't voice their opinion/express themselves. ;)
