You've gotta see these. Referred by commenter John Gillnitz at Eschaton. The Snopes listing in the comments gives the original photographer's web site.

Erm. Those didn't look like hurricane pictures to me and so I checked on Snopes. They ain't.

Except it looks like those aren't (or at least aren't all) of Katrina: http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/storm.asp.

Yeah those are wall cloud photos. Midwest would be my guess. :(

Very pretty though. :)

I think it was on Snopes that it was pointed out that most of those were shot in Iowa ...

I live in such a lovely state ...
