I thought this was a great shot of Sunday’s thunderstorm responsible for a tornado that hit Brook Highland and the Greystone Legacy Golf Course. Barbara Grill took the picture, and she writes:

“James, my computer crashed at home and I just wasn’t able to send this earlier. Everyone tells me to “send it to James Spann!”
I live in Saddle Creek off Hwy 119. From my porch, facing N-NW was this first attention-getter from the storm system that passed through our area last Sunday. We are situated in unincorporated JeffCo, but if you step from the back of our property at the top of the hill, you step into Greystone-Legacy and Shelby County. It seems to me this came from 280 and was approaching or in Brook Highlands area. The pink roll cloud was so eerie – there was no sunlight of any hue that would have caused the beautifully strange color. It preceded the cloud formation for what seemed a long time, but it was probably more like 10-15 minutes until the cloud just began to appear from nowhere!. Had to share it.”
