Tornado???

There was a bit of excitement today at Don's office, when one of the employees stepped outside and snapped a couple of pictures of this funnel cloud, which thankfully did not touch down.

Pretty spectacular pictures though, don't you think???

Thank goodness it did not touch down as this is a densely populated area both residential and commercial.

It certainly could have turned into a disaster.

The unpredictable weather patterns .... strong hurricanes, tsunami's, tornado's, earthquakes are awe inspiring and makes me feel rather small in the grand scheme of things.

Men & woman round the globe strive to gain total control of their environment, but when met with the forces of nature we must humble ourselves in it's presence and realize that this is one thing we cannot control.

Definitely amazing pictures, and I agree that nature in all its forms makes a person feel humble and very small indeed.

Scary ! No one should fool around with Nature. The Ocean can be calm as a mirror and as soon as you walk close to the water line - the waves start to rumble in.
