Title: Storms over Alberta
Post by: orth on June 21, 2005, 02:10:00 PM

Got this forward of some pics from the recent storms in Alberta.  Maybe explains some of the issues with 1.66 heh.  

Some would make great skyboxes :)

Thanks Orth.  
  They remind just how beautiful and chaotic nature can be.  I lived in Western Canada for 5 years and the don't call it big sky country for nothing.
  That last one looks like Saskatchewan's Qu'pelle Valley
  Beautiful Shots

Nature's fury..what more can be said.  Now picture a druid conjuring that one up ;)

Heh... search above the clouds, most likely he's flying over there due to miscalculation. ;)

Thunderstorms with supercells: dangerous, yet fascinating. (in reference to pictures 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9, which, I think, and know some have obvious rotation)

I think tornadoes and hurricanes would be rather hard to implement.

Well..i dont know the name of the cleric spell which makes acid rain... but if it the pictures could describe "that spell" (or maybe "call lightning") in USE.....well...then VARKA would suddenly run faster then a lvl 20 monk.... ;)

btw...damn good pics....impressive.

Most excellent!  That sunset one with the dark red clouds makes me think "Mordor" and shudder under the gaze of Sauron. :)  It'd be a nice skybox for that defiled area near where Xandrial rules, certainly!
