WOW! That is possibly the coolest picture I have seen today! (Then again, today is only 17 minutes old for me) but still, nice job!

Though I don't seem to see any Chevron buildings.... :p

Bet that was kinda strange being above the storm like that. Very cool.

yeah, it was pretty nuts seeing that, but seriously, it was such a pretty sight, the photo does no justice to how nice of a site it was

Awesome pic. Were you in a Lear Jet? Looks like it from what you can see of the wing.

Funny thing, I clicked on the link hoping that you flying meant you had been the pilot, because that would have been really cool.
