I got them sent to me too.  They are incredible, -  the mighty force of nature in action!  Quite beautiful as well as utterly destructive.  :o busy_lizzie

Although these are truly fantastic pictures they are not of Katrina. There are in fact photos of tornadoes and other extreme weather phenomena taken by storm chaser Mike Hollingshead in Nebraska and Kansas during 2002 and 2004. See these 2 links;

The Urban Legends site is a good place to check out any suspect emails you may receive.
