tornado, 17 july 2006, at lac gagnon Tornado at Lac Gagnon, Quebec

At 8:50pm on 17th July 2006 a tornado cut a swath 200 feet wide

through our wooded cottage property. The cottage in the centre of the

path miraculously escaped serious damage but we lost almost all our

trees. This photo was taken during the fierce electrical storm that

followed. I had to manipulate the photo to remove the effect of the

mosquito netting. I tried to capture the intensity of the storm. Any

thoughts? Tony

Tony, I am glad that you survived from that storm! This looks like a rather fierce moment, even on the monitor... I like the story and I like the image. The grain is a bit annoying, but knowing the background information, it is more than understandeable. Good capture!

Alpo: Thanks for your kind words. An angel must have been directing the traffic during the tornado. Best wishes, Tony
