Possible Tornado Formation over Dumbleyung Western Australia

Billy · 21-11-2008, 23:24

Yesterday was a great day for Storm Photography, I was hoping to get some lightning shots, but I missed out, but some of the photos I took are making me wonder if a Tornado was about to form, I am bit familar with Tornadoes, being a big fan of Extreme Instability Tornado Chasing Website anyhow watching the storm yesterday was amazing.
The storm centre clouds were circling 360 degrees in a typical Tornadic formation.
As you can see in the photos on the Yellow Circled bit, thats were I believe a Tornadoe was starting to form, but unfortunately did not eventuate.

These Pics are from one Spot.

These Pics are from another Spot around 10kms away, but the same Storm as I chased it.

And finally some beautiful Cumulonimbus Clouds from the same Spot.

They are some awesome photos...also you can tell if a tornado is forming you'll be able to see where it is on the ground by leaves and dust circling in the air. MUst of been a spectacular storm

Hey billy you've got some good photos there mate

You would've had a ball here last week, worst storm we've had in years put on one hell of a lightning show as well, but also copped a bit of damage.

What sort of camera do you use for your photography?
