20 Huge Storm Pictures that Make Us Thankful El Nina Is Over
-
For the last two years, natural devastation has come forth from the Pacific Ocean, and it wasn’t Godzilla this time. The weather phenomenon known as El Nina has behaved like a horrible accountant, giving some places too much water and some not nearly enough. But, thankfully, this weather pattern caused by cooling in the Pacific Ocean is over, so we can finally take the boards off our windows and eagerly await the Mayan Apocalypse. To remind us how nice good weather can be, we found 20 eye-popping pictures of huge storms, which make us glad that we are no longer being terrorized by the ocean:
- Just once, we’d like to see storm pictures taken by someone flung high into the air
- Thank goodness for really dumb people and crazy scientists, or we’d never get storm pictures like this
- If you have to get struck by lightning, pyrotechnics is the way to go
- Of all the days to forget the key to the inside of the boat…
- This is why we prefer prefab houses: They easily split into pieces
- What they need is a giant wall of palm trees
- This Netherlands storm reminds us to check the weather report before wandering out in the middle of nowhere
- We admire the camera’s ability to resist both water and a hard impact
- It’s a shame this happened on “National Car Washing Day”
- If this wasn’t a submarine ship before, it is now
- Locals refer to rain as “barf from the sky”
- For pedestrians, hurricanes turn every street into a one-way street
- If aliens were smart (which we assume they are), they would disguise their spaceships as weird clouds
- We’re pretty certain the Pacific Ocean hates humans, and waves are it pounding its fists against the land
- Since copper conducts electricity, isn’t the Statue of Liberty one big lightning rod?
- This is why you don’t look for the end of the rainbow: Deadly hurricanes
- We wonder if crazed, angry birds ever try to fight storms
- If you plan on taking the wormhole to Oz, wear galoshes
- Nature likes to trick us by disguising storms as erupting volcanoes
- How many people sucked into funnel clouds are secretly being abducted by aliens? We’re guessing all of them
