The photo above showing menacing storm clouds near Florence, Kentucky was taken on July 21, 2008 around 6:15 p.m. My wife had taken our daughter outside to play, and shortly thereafter a local siren alerted us to the threat of violent weather. This picture was captured from the deck of our house as the storm moved in. Though there was no rotation in these clouds, a funnel cloud was reported but unconfirmed. As you can see, the storm looked pretty evil. Fortunately there was little damage in our immediate area.
