'Backside of possibly tornadic storm'This was taken at sunset last night, 1/2 a mile up the road from home. We were under a tornado watch, and this was the backside of a huge storm heading East to scare others! A spectacular sight but impossible to capture the full scale, even with my 10-22mm wide angle lense. We could also clearly observe the rotation within the storm, in addition to some wicked lightening.I submitted this to our KOCO channel 5 TV station and apparently it was featured during their morning news show, I'm hoping it may appear tonight so I get to see it. UPDATE: Yay it was on again!

A really different and beautiful sky. Always have that camera handy
What a stunning picture! It looks like the 2 clouds are colliding!
That is awesome. I'm loving this weather. We never get this much rain in August.
WOW! Sarah - you must have been frightened. This sky looks beautiful but also ominous.
Looks like quite a storm. Great shot!
I used to live in the Texas Panhandle. I loved and feared those skies.
That is fantastic! What a sky, colors and you shot catches it all!
Have a great weekend!

What an awesome picture. Just the thought of a tornado sends shivers down my spine. I've been in a few hurricanes but tornados really scare me!
Keep safe.

OMG! Wow & Wow! This is most amazing. I can feel the power building and energy from that potential storm somewhere. Excellent capture. Think about creating your own panoramas to get even more vast space covered.
Sarah great shot. Glad we didn't get the bad storms here. I think we just got thunderstorms. I bet you'll be glad we tornado weather is over. =)
What a beautiful picture of the weather coming in. It too looks rather frightening.
Wow! That is some cloud. Glad it wasn't a tornado!

Amazing capture. You'd never see anything like that back here in the UK! Stunning colours and light too.

A truly awesome (in the real sense) photograph that conveys the magnitude and power of the weather systems that visit your part of the world.
As seen on TV, love it.
Good for you. That photo deserves a wide audience. Hope all is well and safe out there.
wow, this is the most amazing photo!!! Quite a terrifying sight, and well done for having your photo featured on TV, too!
WOW! This is an absolutely fabulous shot!!!
That is a scary looking cloud, fearfully beautiful!
WHOA! Now that's a cinematic sky or as Husband says 'Spielberg sky'
Gorge.Ous. Love love this photo as you know! I might have seen it on Rick Mitchell if we watched the news, but I'm much happier now that I've quit watching TV news. ESpecially local tv news. Mybad. Anyway, yay for skinned knees and tornadoes that do not actually develop! I call that a "Ghostbusters" sky based on that scene toward the end of Ghostbusters where the whole sky is boiling and green and rotating.
Amazing photo! I live in Arkansas and used to think that we had bad storms. Then we lived in OK for a couple of years and I realized that I "didn't know nuthin'" about storms.
Awesome display of nature's power and beauty.
Amazing picture. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be as destructive as it could have been.
225 days of rain...oh my goodness. That is a lot of rain.

Scary gorgeous. We get weird storms here that roll in over the mountains. I need to get some pics of those.
That is so gorgeous but so SCARY looking.
That's great being featured on the TV but it is an excellent photo.
