      WOW! When I saw this thumbnail, I thought this was a shot of waves crashing in the ocean as shot from a cliff... living proof that turbulence systems scale beautifully! Great Shot, DR!

      Whoa! Hadn't seen aerial footage of the storms from that year. Very cool. Those were some serious dust storms. Great fun!
