My family and I where on our way to Virginia Beach last weekend. And we went through a storm and I looked behind us, and took some pictures of something I saw. I'm posting those pictures. But I wasn't sure if they were a wall cloud, or a funnel, but the further away we got, after a while, it looked like it dropped further, so I guess it was a funnel.
And then when we were there at VA Beach, we were eating at subway, and I saw some clouds that were interesting, but I wasn't able to get a picture of them.
All the storms were caused by Hurricane Bill, one of his bands were hitting VA, which is where I live.
The trip was fun, I got tons of pictures of weather.
All of the pitures except for a few was weather.

The pictures that I have in my gallery are from one day my sister and I were on our way to school. She told me to look behind us. Mind you I was half asleep, I turned around, and the pictures I will put on here is what I saw. I was wide awake after what I saw. I thought we were going to have a tornado that morning.

Everyone except for my Grandmother, she was born and raised is Oklahoma, what part, that I don't know. She remembers tornadoes and what her family had to do during one in the night. Which I must say, at night, is the worst time, because at night, you can't see it coming, now in the day, you can, which makes it not so surprising, because you are awake, and not asleep.

What I mean when I say they don't understand. I study them more than anyone else in the family, and I'm still in High School, so that makes it funny. But when ever there is severe weather, I am glued to the radar on my laptop, and looking out the window.

They can't stand it. I watch the weather so I can warn them and my other family members that are not that far away, to let them know so they can seek shelter.

And the reason I keep looking out the window, is if I see something, I can get a picture of it, and then tell them what I saw, since I have a digital 8 meg pixel camera I can quickly show them, and run for cover.

I study them, because they are interesting, they are like a mystery, like how they actually form? And why they suck things up?

And it is interesting how the storm chasers go out there, and get the information. What they do, sounds really exiting.

And my family are supposed to be going out to Oklahoma, next month, for a family reunion, and I have asked them already.. If you see anything get a picture for me! If you meet a storm chaser, interview them for me!

I have always wanted to meet a storm chaser, and ask,
them what is it like being there next to the tornado?

I'm looking at a weather map, and it shows that there is some tornado activity in North Dakota. If there are any storm chasers there they would be having some fun.

Storms here in VA, have gotten bad. I use to live in KG, VA. When we lived there, we had some pretty bad storms. One time is was a few days before school let out. I heard of severe weather when we got home from school. I am usualy the one by the window and glued on the radar and weather reports. I told my sister to COMPLETLEY empty out the closet, which is under the stairs. My Mom, was out side talking to our neighbor. And I became speechless, I was pointing behind my Mom who was out side, and I was inside, and I told them about ten minitues before this part, and my neighbor told the kids on the sidewalk, there is tornado warnings, and stuff you should get inside. I was banging on the door got their attention, they finally turned around, the sky turned a dark green, and what looked like a tornado, getting ready to touch down on the road. They then did the right thing, the kids were already inside. My neighbor ran to her house yelling to her kids get in the closet. Mom comes running in.

Now, I told my Sister to empty the whole closet. Get to the closet, it is half empty.

So it was my Mom, my Sister, my Sisters bf, our German Shepard, two birds in cages, and I. Into a half empty closet.

Thank God there was no damage. From now on, my Sister knows, when anyone says empty the whole closet, she understands.
