I'm obsessed with severe and extreme weather, if you didn't already know that about me. Every Spring, my dad, brother, and I head out on the central planes of the U.S. to chase tornadoes and severe storms. There's really nothing in the World like witnessing the formation of a large tornado right in front of your eyes, you stand in awe of natures glory yet it makes you feel terribly insignificant at the same time.

 Over the years I've documented our trips with my camera and I've amassed nearly 75 gigs worth of storm and sky pictures. I've skimmed the top of that collection to bring you the following cloud textures... I thought "Why should I keep these pictures to myself, when they would make such great textures?" If you would like to see a few of our storm chasing pictures you can head over to my flickr gallery. Below is a quick sample of seven of the textures in the zip file located at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
