great shot? make you nervous?

after all these fatal tornadoes this year, if I saw that, I'd be tempted to head to the basement.

In hindsight, it's easy to say no...but luckily I had a good HD radar track on it as it skimmed by to our north. Even though it looked ominous, it didn't even make severe TS level--no warnings were issued for it. There were a few funnel-like/scud formations prior to this one and none of them had rotation either. I haven't had too many good vantage points like this so I'm glad I got some snapshots of it.

Dr Chill!!! With the fantastic photo!! Love it.. Needless to say I am big fan of weather. Winter storms.. Summer storms all of it... EVERY STORM SWEEPING BY ME ANYPLACE, I am outside trying to find a vantage point to check it out... When those tornadoes swept through NYC late summer last year, I was trying to get on the roof of my 40 story building in NYC to get a glimpse of what was going by. Had to settle for a nice view of the storms passing to our south from the 20th floor before it produced any funnels/tornadoes...
