Whether it's a hurricane in the Caribbean, a tornado in the Great Plains or a snowstorm in the mountains, tropical and winter storms are the stuff of legends — so much so that ancient mythology and various religions are filled with weather gods that people have prayed to for centuries.
Some people have become so fascinated with storms that they've made a career out of traveling to various parts of the world to chase them and try to understand them better. While not all of us have the courage to embark on that journey, these incredible photos of storms allow us to witness some of the unworldly shapes these weather patterns take.
