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,

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.

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.
