Photo of a small tornado that developed along the surging gust front of a storm just east of Rule, Texas. A large tornado had just dissipated west of this location.

Cool capture, Sam. Looks like it was really raising a lot of dust.

Cheers,

Hi Sam, scary indeed. I hope you were close to a place to hide

Hey Sam,

Cool shot. Did it get much larger? I think the shot would be stronger without that road in it at the bottom though.

Jim,

Here's the cropped version you suggested. Do you like it better?

Anyone else have a comment about the cropped versus uncropped original?

Cropped is nicer for me. Removes the only distraction from that wicked sky. Nicely done, Sam.

Cropped here too - glad we don't get storms like those up here in the PacNW.

Nice image.

Great image Sam, been a while. I'm in favor of the crop as well.
