Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

How many of us (those who don't live anywhere near established storm zones) have wished we could see a tornado? At least at a distance? i have and this is probably the closest I have come to that although the tornado did not materialize. This is not at all trivializing the horrific damage inflicted by these storms but there is no denying the riveting fascination of nature unleashed. Look at this cloud. It is more creature than cloud. It has a maw. And that maw is big and open and hungry! We were driving just outside of Dyersburg when the sky darkened and this materialized. We stopped and watched in fascination as it convulsed and shape shifted.
