Okay, that would scare the crap out of me. Given the conditions you were (I assume) shooting under, that's a heck of a good capture!

Great composition considering the danger! A true photographer!

Very symmetrical. I like it man! Thumbs up to you!

The only thing I could see making this better is that I would like to see a cow blowing across the road... This is a really cool capture! I look forward to seeing more. Just be careful

I've always wanted to photograph a tornado .. but I'm way too chicken.

Uh-oh.

Great capture, very, erm striking?

AWESOME! Seeing a tornado, and riding out a hurricane are on my list of things to do before I die. Must be rush!

Nature makes for the finest portraits

Good job under difficult conditions for sure!

I can only imagine what it sounded like to be there! aargh!

I've wanted to do this since I've moved to Oklahoma. I never had the chance when I was in Pennsylvania as we didn't have them. How do you go about this? I would imagine a small TV and watch the news to find out where the circulation is and go ahead of it?

 

[Miaow]

Great capture - I don't think I would have stayed on that road very long lol
