Sky Watch

Hello and welcome! My name is Ann and I'm an avid storm watcher. I've loved storms since I was a little kid. I also love photographing clouds, especially storm clouds. This site is dedicated to my hobby of storm watching. At the bottom of this page, you will notice that I created a secondary site which is filled with tornado and storm videos. Very cool stuff, however, the damage they cause is quite devestating to say the least.

This year 2008 we've had more than double the tornados occur in the heartland of the United States. Wisconsin, where I live, is being hit hard with storms, tornadoes and flooding. Storms are nothing to mess with. Take cover whenever you hear the sirens in your town or if you see warnings for your are on TV.

I was in some very strong winds one time. It was unknown if it was actually a tornado or not. But the wind was so strong that it blew all the glass windows out of the porch and there were sticks all over in the front yard that were stuck vertical in the ground. One piece was a branch that was pretty good sized, larger than all the others. It stood up vertical in the ground just like all the smaller ones. What a sight! (photos by Ann Jordan)

What is a thunderhead cloud? 

Cumulonimbus (Cb) is a type of cloud that is tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather. Cumulonimbus means "column rain" in Latin. It is a result of atmospheric instability. These clouds can form alone, in clusters, or along a cold front in a squall line. They create lightning through the heart of the cloud. Cumulonimbus clouds form from cumulus clouds (namely from cumulus congestus) and can further develop into a supercell, a severe thunderstorm with special features.

    I love watching weather and I'm enthralled by the pictures and video, but I'm really glad tornado season is over here in Arkansas. Until the next one, that is.

by mrsjordanjr

I love taking walks, taking pictures and storm watching.  See what the Bible has to say about storms and clouds.
