The pics are actually from a spring thunderstorm near Tulsa, Oklahoma USA March 2005. These are quite common each spring. Last year we had over 250 tornado touchdowns in OK, and hold the world record F5 (319+ mph) in Moore, OK on the south end of Oklahoma City in 1999 with 80 + that day. Check the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Assc. site One of the many blessings we have living in God's country.

Mr. Orsm, I believe those pics came from Oklahoma, USA. As a meteorologist, I've seen those pics before... taken I believe from a storm from 2004.

These pics are originally from Weather.com. The Weather Channel (Don't know if you get that in Aussieland...) did a special here in the US about weird cloud formations in storms. These are all caps from that 1/2 hour show. Most of the pics are from Africa and South America and some are from the MidWest US... I'm sure there may be one from "Downunder" on there, but they are not all from the same storm.

Hi Orsm... great site as always. You are right about the pictures - they are not Australia. They are actually done by a guy up in Minnesota. Can;t remember his name, but here is another of his I downloaded for a project. You have most of his stuff by the looks of things. He's a fanatic on pictures of storms, bad weather etc.

G'day Orsm, I was having a look at the Cyclone Ingred photo's. I used to Live up in Darwin, and never saw a cyclone with those shape clouds, it just doesn't happen!! - and of course, grape vines as were seen on the side of the road don't grow up there in the tropics? So, have you had any light as to where the photos were really from?

Subject: Those "Cyclone Ingrid" Shots
Orsm, Those pictures that you posted that someone said was Cyclone Ingrid, they have been going around in emails this week as being taken down in Bunbury at the start of the week when we had those massive storms here in Perth. But even so, the landscape and such doesn’t look right to be Australian. Anyways I thought I should know that there must be confusion around the place about this pictures...

Those pics are not of a tropical cyclone, they're pics of thunderstorms about to spawn tornados. Given the scenery, I'd bet these were taken in the American Midwest, a/k/a Tornado Alley.

Those cyclone pics aren't in Australia, most (if not all) of them are of a storm that came through Tulsa, Oklahoma like.. just in the last month, I'm almost positive. I looked for proof but couldnt find any..

Hey guy, one of the pics shows a highway, theyre driving on the right so I guess somewhere in N.Amercia...mid west or sth west where they get these regularly.

Hey Orsm, You're right about the pics, I got an email today at work claiming them to be images of the Bumbury storm a few days ago. Sure the pics look cool but it looks nothing like Bumbury.. so I sent out an email to the 50+ people it was fowarded to in the email history, with a list of a few of the places the pics have been taken from. All American clearly. Heres a link to the site where they all are.

Four men are standing in a line as shown above and they cannot turn their heads. There is a brick wall between A and B that they cannot see through. They know that they each have one hat, and that of the four hats two are black and two are white. They cannot see the color of the hat that they are wearing. In order to be released from the line, they must call out the color of their hat. If they are wrong, no one can leave. They are not allowed to talk to each other, and they have been given ten minutes to figure out their hat color. After 1 minute:

Yo, just a lowly college student from Colorado here and I must say I love the site. This is a pic of one of my friends (looks like his head is getting roasted) making a fireball out of a campfire and a container of wax; just some fun we had a few summers ago. Its so easy to do and loads of dangerous fun. Keep up the good work... Lates.

attached is an interesting photo. As I was driving down interstate highway 5, I saw a sign that read "Pleasant Valley State Prison - next exit". When you think of prisons in California, you think of Alcatraz, San Quentin or Folsom (Remember "Folsom Prison Blues", by Johnny Cash?), but the word "Pleasant" does not seem to go along with incarceration at a state prison.

Biologists at the University of Florida have discovered a new species of lizard which has been attacking sunbathers at and near Miami's South Beach. It is believed to primarily attack women, though it has been known to attack effeminate-appearing men. Only one known photograph has been taken of this creature, which is included here for your benefit...
