I think we can all agree that the weather this spring/summer has been a little strange throughout the country. As you may or may not know, Pointniner is authored/edited by two aviation nuts from Omaha, Nebraska. A local photographer, Rich Carstensen, took these storm pictures as it came through Omaha last Friday (June 27). The storm did not produce any tornadoes, however, it produced up to 115 mph straight line winds. The storm was pretty destructive to the Omaha and surrounding areas. I know this might not be aviation related, but the connection is there as most aviation people are somewhat weather people as well. As you can see, some of the photos are from during and after the storm.

Wow! These are all awesome shots, but that 3rd pic is so incredible it almost looks like something Spielberg would cook up in order to have the mother ship emerge from it on descent to Earth.

¡Increíbles imágenes!,
¡The 3rd pic is amazing!
Greetings.
And right thereis that ambivalence that comes with being a pilot: seeing pictures like these and thinking, "That's beautiful!" while at the same time thinking "That's terrible!"
I lived in Omaha from 1970 to 1979, but it never looked this good to me. I was in Omaha in September 2007 for a class reunion, and I noticed that the view of the Qwest center from the west at the top of the hill near Creighton is very impressive. These are good shots; are the high resolution versions for sale?
Many of those photos posted on your blog are mine. You can see them here:
