NATURAL ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRICAL TOWERS

Irving, TX

We had some storms today that held numerous tornados. I took this image at work as we watched and waited. There were 4 that touched down around us but I didn't see any real tornado formations but the sky was definately threatening. A lot of damage throughout the DFW area but all is calm tonight. Just hope my sister, who lives in East Texas, didn't get hit too badly.

Thanks to everyone who asked how I was through the storms. Y'all are so awesome!

This tops 'em all Cindi for contrasts! Awesome shot! So happy you're safe and sound! :)
I'll never forget leaving work (near Presby Hosp. on Walnut Lane, Dallas) back in 1985. Looking off to the west the sky was a horrible blackish-green color. That was the day that DFW got hit with a deadly tornado...
