Thanks for posting that image, Grav.
It's quite astonishing how storms like that boil up and bite the unwary and even the wary. On one trip I did to the US I thought that I was about to be caught up in a tornado. I was staying in Torrington Wyoming and tornado warnings had been issued for western Nebraska which was a handful of miles distant. The wind suddenly increased and a storm warning appeared on the TV. Meteorological violence ensued for about the next thirty minutes, and the motel rattled somewhat, but thankfully it didn't develop into a tornado. That trip hadn't got off to a good start. The first leg of the flight was from Heathrow to Newark but had to return after about twenty minutes when a large quantity of glassware fell from stowage in the galley and injured a flight attendant. She needed hospital treatment so the delayed flight was of secondary importance in the great scheme of things. However, late arrival at Newark meant a re-booking of flights and to make matters worse there was a very strong headwind all the way to Denver. If things had gone according to plan I would have arrived in daylight as I didn't want to drive in darkness after a long flight but it didn't happen. On my first night I was staying at Brighton CO a few miles from DEN and my discombobulated body clock did not allow me to sleep so I watched 'Are You Being Served?' on TV. I think I suffered enough on that trip.
