We watched as tornadic storms rolled across the northern half of our county this afternoon. I wish I had a video camera so you could watch these clouds rotate over me. These pictures were taken 2-3 miles north of Loomis. I might have gotten better pictures if I went closer but I was afraid of getting hit with the hail. There were reports of this storm producing baseball sized hail before it got to us. There were numerous tornado warnings but these storms did not touch down until after they passed us. There are numerous reports of damage in Kearney about 35 miles northwest of us. For those of you who have watched Storm Chasers on the Discovery channel, I saw 30+ storm chasers go through Loomis including the infamous TIV vehicle.
As they went by the videographer was up in the Turret. It was really eery watching the storm chasers. Obviously we were in the center of the action. The storms have gone by now and we are fine. In fact it never even rained in town.

The pictures are amazing. You guys are real lucky the storms missed you. Was there a lot of damage in Kearny.
very good and amazing pictures. The power of God is so evident in the power of the storms. Cool to see the chasers too!
Yikes! Close call...
Glad you are all safe.

I can only imagine if Rob had been there... either he would've been chasing the storm chasers to see all the action or he would've locked himself in an underground bunker and not let himself out, certain that the storm was coming just for him!
Some great shots! Glad you emerged unscathed!
PS. Pauline, I love your new picture. You look great!
Those are some pretty incredible pictures. How amazing God is!! Glad there was no storm in Loomis. You've posted some great pix lately!
ps how do you get the pictures to take up the whole screen in the slide show? There is always black around my pix.
Brenda, I'm not sure unless you are talking about vertical pictures. The vertical pictures do have a black border.
Wow! That sky was amazing!!!
