Great thunderstorm photos

To all pilots and weather lovers,

I'm guessing that most you appreciate a good storm so here's a few to wet your appetite.

Have a look at these pictures- very impressive. Just a pity they're not higher resolution.

Best TS photo's I've seen were sold in a shop in Darwin as mounted posters. Think it was the Casuarina shops. Even the BOM staff had bought them. Some really good work from the same bloke used to hang in the AN terminal.

If these Tz pix don't scare you, get out of the aviation industry.

I don't mean we can't deal with it, but we MUST repect nature.

That mammatus is incredible.....

Ever tried that as a pick-up line? On a serious note, I can see where they get their name from!!!

Some amazing photos, particularly liked the "hole in the sky".
