with devastation, comes an element of beauty

[bugjuice]

I was just sent these pics of Katrina, just before she kicked up the real stink.. The email says Katrina, but wouldn't be surprised if they are a couple of storms in there..

I know these things are nature's e-bomb, but something about them just makes them amazing. So I thought I'd share.. And there are several websites with photos of storms too

The two last one from the boat are from a previous storm, which I've been using as desktop pics for a while now.. Just thought they were too amazing to leave off.. Imagine being on that boat at that time..

how do you know they're old?
and what do they start off as?
I'm not doubting that they're genuine Katrina pics, but it's the eye of the storm that these pics are focusing on, not the winds that surround it. A hurricane isn't just a gush of wind that blows over, it's all circulating

The picture in the second lot of the tanker sailing toward the cloud formation has been around for at least 4 years. I used to use it as desktop wallpaper at my previous job.

They may be old, but its the thought that counts

cos i already have these photos.

Tornados and huricanes are different types of storms, tornados you can see as cloud formation and sometimes they create a funnel that touches down, hurricanes are more like a shit load of wind every where....

Defintion of a tornado
A localized and violently destructive windstorm occurring over land characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground

Definition of a Hurricane
A severe tropical cyclone usually with heavy rains and winds moving a 73-136 knots (12 on the Beaufort scale)

(i have no work to do and i'm bored)

Nice brotherly debate going on here I see ;)

Been sent this, unfortunately whoever created it sqaushed some of the pics to get them in, but some good shots in here anyway. Kinda like the after to those pics befores . . .

so someone is scwering with you about Katrina pics......

kerhum *clears throat*

a cyclone is:

rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low-pressure center; circling counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern

A violent rotating windstorm

and an anticyclone:

winds spiraling outward from a high-pressure center; circling clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern


:zzzz: :zzzz: :zzzz: :zzzz:

and no, I think I'll leave that post-kickin comp alone..
kinda reminds me of that joke, where they kick each other in the nuts to get something. You see the effects, and somehow, you just don't want to have a go..

Nah - I could skim over their posts for what seemed like seconds.

But then again, you have an artistic flair which I in turn lack. It allows you to focus on the finer things that matter and ignore those that are not
