The have a watermark because idiots that think they are photographers like to steal other photographers work of the internet. www.extremeinstability.com has a whole page about people entering his storm pics into contests and email forwards as "hurrican Katrina" and "the tsunami" and other BS. The guy lives in a small town near Omaha and does this as his primary job and didn't used to mark his photos-just a tasteful link to where you could buy larger prints. Instead people were taking his work and blowing it up and hanging it on the wall. The owner of the pics has every right to mark them, if you don't like it buy the real one.
Most of these pics are pretty weak, however the mature black tornado is Great and erie as hell! there was 2 videos called torndo i think, it had awesome footage, 1 had a great mature tornado with like 5 smallish to medium size tornados dancing around the big mature 1...strange as if they have minds. look for the videos.

I wonder if yesterday's front page tornado images inspired the search for more tornado images?

I've lived in Kansas for 20 years and I've never seen or been in a tornado. Every year I hope to see one, but am left disappointed.
