Deceptive Beauty

the calm after a tornadic storm


This storm just rolled over us and headed on. We had pea to golf ball sized hail and plenty of scud clouds, but no wall clouds (tornadoes that have not touched down) yet. No more than thirty minutes later, this storm was threatening downtown Belton, Texas with a tornado, but it did not touch down till the far side of town.

I took this shot just about the time the front end was pounding Belton. It may look pretty and nice, but only after expending much energy.
