AWESOME!! Wish Washington got storms like that... Or funnel clouds. I witnessed one in Wash. but i couldn't find my camera.

This helps us get in touch with nature on a greater level, as a Navajo myself.

Nice time-lapsed video of this awesome Tstorm..looks even like a rotating wall cloud drifting form the upper-right thru the middle and then the lower left..... I bet there was some cool lightning and good thunder with this Tstorm..I too got some thunder on 5/24/09....and hope to get it onto YouTube soon..

Well, the Kaiparowits Plateau area is the middle section of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in southern UT. There are a few power plants in the area around the 4 corners and yes, they are controversial. Some say they pollute the air around the grand canyon and surrounding areas. You can find a lot more info on them via google ;)

Cheers

[rankinstudio]

Yes, its the Navajo Generating Station in Northern AZ. Coal fired power plant. Powers over 2 million people.
