Truly amazing pictures of a hurricane (not Katrina)

Wow, check out these photos of ~~Katrina~~ a hurricane taken in Iowa in 2004 by Mike Hollingshead who has some other great photos too.

A friend sent me these pictures saying they were of Katrina, turns out they are not.
Thanks to Michael for pointing that out. Still, they are breath-taking photographs.

Except that they're not. :)

See Snopes [here][1]:

> When readers started forwarding these photographs to us just after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, our first thought was that the scenes depicted in these images didn't look like either a hurricane or the Gulf Coast. Our second thought was that we've seen these pictures before — many times.
>
> Indeed, these pictures are apparently all-purpose storm photos, trotted out on a near monthly basis and retitled to correspond to the latest large weather phenomenon.
