You should at least give some credit to the guy that took most of these photos.

Most of these were taken by Mike Hollingshead. You can find these photos and many more newer better ones on his website at:

I mean you even used the same photos from an email circulating in 2006 saying that they were photos of Hurricane Katrina.

I'm afraid of the heavy and strange cloud, but I like them when they are lighter. BTW, "The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear." give me much confidence to see the whole pictures.
