Reply #33: I'm recommending because they are awesome, but not of a hurricane

[Nothing Without Hope]

This is far too small - it's obviously a violent storm that is spawning tornadoes over a local area. Katrina spread over multiple states and its eyewall was well over a hundred miles from the outer feeder bands. It would not have looked like this. Absolutely stunning photography; it's rare to capture a newly spawned tornado this way and the lighting is spectactular. Those curving bands of clouds must have been moving very fast - it took courage/foolhardiness to stand there taking photos. There are many storm-chasers - both professional and hobbyists - who do just that, and they would be thrilled to bag what this photographer has.
