Cool pictures of the most extreme weather on Earth

[Ponner]

Found some pretty awesome photographs of things that I thought people might be interested in! Thought maybe we could create a thread to share the more extreme stuff....

Things like the supercell (Thunderstorm with a rotating updraft.... looks pretty mental...)




Credit to this awesome photograph (and many more of the sort) Here.

And this natural gas source that has been burning since the 70's!

 

 

The doorway to hell....

In that top photo, where the lightning strikes the ground? That's where I threw the Ring into the lava.

Hold on a bit, are you a hobbit, Phi? If so I may have an adventure you'd be interested in.

Yeah, right, I've heard that before. At first I'm just investigating a low-pressure system near a big mountain, suddenly I'm physically dealing with your Smaug problem. No thanks!

 

 

 

I love it when someone is able to capture natural phenomenon like these (well, not so much the burning crater as the lightning strikes). I never have a decent camera with me when anything like this happens.

If Google Glasses / something similar kicks off then I can image it will be easier for people to capture such images!

That supercell with the lightening striking the ground is mega.

Found this one also, not so bad! (if anyone is around to read)

 

Picture taken from ISS, pretty cool

 

 

Enjoy!
