Wasn't it just wild - we had to drive through some of the worst of it! Beautifully composed and processed Ian, and of course an awesome sky - hope there are more shots on the way - I love this stormy weather!!! #1432488John Connolly December 26, 2011
A wonderful capture of nature at work, Ian! I am pleased to see you survived the day, and I hope you were off the beach before the storm arrived! #9887469Danny B. Head December 26, 2011
I love the depth of the sky! We even had tornado warnings here and a touch down about 40 miles away on Christmas Eve , eve. That's even unusual for here, where we are the tornado capitol. #9887790Debbie Bray December 27, 2011
