    What a great exploding storm this was. Losing light rapidly as we pursued a tornado warned storm and managed to get this wonderful convective display. Storm chase 2007. Olympus E3, 14-54mm

    Tube. Tornado in Iowa. Cherry picking a single week from an entire year and expecting to witness a tornado would yield extremely low odds, especially when travelling across the pond. It was therefore massively rewarding to get one. We were struggling to keep up with a storm moving at 50mph when all of a sudden a horizontal funnel cloud rolled in the skies above our heads. We struggled to get into a decent viewing position, and when we did the tornado was stretched all the way to the ground. It was only on the ground for a few seconds and I was lucky to get the farm building within the frame to add some interest and scale.
