Back home now after a few days on the road. The weather delayed my return, but after everything that’s happened in Joplin, MO and other cities damaged by this latest outbreak of storms, a delayed or canceled flight seems like hardly an inconvenience.
Here’s a photo of the backside of the storm system that eventually moved through Joplin.
Not sure that the photo accurately conveys how large those clouds were. I’m from a part of the country where large storms that produce tornados are fairly common, and normally I wouldn’t have taken a photo, but these clouds were so large that I pulled into a parking lot to take this photo and send it to my brother. I told him in the text message that I sent with the photo, that the horizon looked liked some scene from the 1980’s miniseries The Day After.
