竜巻を追跡し、観測や記録を行うストームチェイサー（日本語版記事）のひとりであるマルコ・コロセク氏（31歳）が撮影した、驚くような写真を紹介しよう。
これらの写真は、竜巻が頻繁に発生する「竜巻街道」と呼ばれるテキサス州、カンザス州、コロラド州にまたがる地域をコロセク氏が横断した際に、竜巻からわずか1キロの位置から撮影したものだ。
写真には、大地を吸い上げるような巨大なスーパーセルが映っている。
スーパーセルとは、回転する空気の柱が形成されて上昇気流が回転し、異常な円形の雲が現れるもので、大規模な水平方向の回転を伴っていることが特徴だ。
竜巻街道では、メキシコ湾からの暖かく湿った空気と、ロッキー山脈やカナダからの冷たく乾いた空気がぶつかり、スーパーセルが発達しやすい）。

GLASGOW, MT - JULY 28. EXCLUSIVE: The belly of a super cell thunderstorm as it continues unabated across the plains on July 28, 2010, causing minimal damage as it does so, in Glasgow, Montana. Like scenes of the apocalypse these incredible images are the stunning results of one man\'s mission to capture stormy skies on camera. One extraordinary picture in his collection is rapidly earning the nickname \'Eye of God\' and shows a super-cell storm unleashing a powerful torrent of rain down onto a Montana field. Looking like a natural phenomenon of biblical proportions, the photograph is just one image from the portfolio of electrician Sean Heavey. Officially titled \'Mothership\', married Sean, 34, an amateur photographer, created the jaw-dropping panoramic image by stitching together three photos from the 400 frames he took of the violent scene he witnessed in July. The dangerous outbreak of weather raged for several hours and caused minor damage to local communities - while watchful Sean, from Glasgow, Montana, captured all its devastating beauty from a distance. Taking photographs of storms for the past seven years, this year Sean and his masterpiece are up for a prestigious award from National Geographic. \'I felt that if you could walk inside the rain and the wind right into the centre of the storm and stare up, then it would have been like looking into God\'s eye.\' (Photo by Sean Heavey / Barcroft Media / Getty Images) (credit:Getty Images)

Demonstrating the terrifying power of nature, these tornado-scapes document the most deadly American storm season in living memory. All the photographs were taken by one man, Roger Hill, who has chased and observed the famous \'tornado alley\' of the mid-western United States for the past 25 years. In those two and a half decades Roger has witnessed 200 mph twisters one mile wide, but despite having seen over 600 tornados in his lifetime, never has Roger known a more tragic and lethal season. To date this year 546 people have lost their lives to storms and Roger has had an unenviable front seat to history, helped survivors and even come close to losing his own life to the deadly twisters.

Sean Heavey's Spectacular Thunderstorm Photos(42 of111)
GLASGOW, MT - JULY 2010. EXCLUSIVE: This supercell cloud caused minor damage, and lasted several hours before moving on in July 2010 in Glasgow, Montana. Like scenes of the apocalypse these incredible images are the stunning results of one man\'s mission to capture stormy skies on camera. One extraordinary picture in his collection is rapidly earning the nickname \'Eye of God\' and shows a super-cell storm unleashing a powerful torrent of rain down onto a Montana field. Looking like a natural phenomenon of biblical proportions, the photograph is just one image from the portfolio of electrician Sean Heavey. Officially titled \'Mothership\', married Sean, 34, an amateur photographer, created the jaw-dropping panoramic image by stitching together three photos from the 400 frames he took of the violent scene he witnessed in July. The dangerous outbreak of weather raged for several hours and caused minor damage to local communities - while watchful Sean, from Glasgow, Montana, captured all its devastating beauty from a distance. Taking photographs of storms for the past seven years, this year Sean and his masterpiece are up for a prestigious award from National Geographic. \'I felt that if you could walk inside the rain and the wind right into the centre of the storm and stare up, then it would have been like looking into God\'s eye.\' (Photo by Sean Heavey / Barcroft Media / Getty Images) (credit:Getty Images)
