Just... incredible. What a marvelous age we live in, to have such images available to us.

That... wasn't so much a "wow" as it is "HOLY FLURKING SNIT!"

I have been a weather buff and especially a hurricane buff since the age of 5. I collect images of tropical storms from all over the world - radar, satellite, whatever I can get.

Yes, they're destructive and dangerous, not to mention expensive, and my heart goes out to anyone unfortunate enough to live in the path of one. I truly wish that they would all veer out to sea and cause no one any harm, but even so, they're incredibly beautiful and mysterious - divine works of art, if you will.

Thanks for the linky.
