This is the picture... and BTW it is a weather book.

:shock: We use Conga rats now? What happened to the Rhumba rabbits and the Waltzing squirrels? No one tells me anything....

Wow Doug! That's awesome! The picture is alright too...

Actually, that's an awesome picture. I love how the funnel is coming down too. It would be awesome to be able to watch the storms roll in like that.

Congrats again and let us know when and where this book comes out.

WX was an old morse code abbreviation for weather, but is still used today.

Amazing shot by the way, and nice book deal! :thumbup:
