APOD 1.1

August 14, 2011. I found this image to be very interesting. Living in Florida, i dont see many tornadoes which is both good and bad. Good because there isnt a posibility of my house or community being torn apart, but bad because its a part of mother nature that is probably interesting to see from a safe distance. The fact that the tornado was in the same spot as a rainbow, and the total timing of the entire picture is a very good coinsidence. What are the odds of all the aspects of the image coming together at just the right moment? I learned that most tornadoes are formed in the tornado alley This tornado alley is more located in the midwest, from North Texas to South Dakota. Luckily I do not live here as there are many news stories of tragic porportions. Also I learned to not try to outrun a tornado as their paths are unpredictable and you might just end up running in to it. So the safest method is to park and use the most safe methods to protect yourself from the storm. See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
