Great pics!
What you are seeing is a "Wall Cloud". This is a sign that a tornado is very likely to form.

Job 38:1-41
1 And Jehovah proceeded to answer Job out of the windstorm and say:
2 “Who is this that is obscuring counsel
By words without knowledge?3 Gird up your loins, please, like an able-bodied man,
And let me question you, and you inform me.4 Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth?
Tell [me], if you do know understanding.5 Who set its measurements, in case you know,
Or who stretched out upon it the measuring line?6 Into what have its socket pedestals been sunk down,
Or who laid its cornerstone,7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together,
And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?8 And [who] barricaded the sea with doors,
Which began to go forth as when it burst out from the womb;9 When I put the cloud as its garment
And thick gloom as its swaddling band,10 And I proceeded to break up my regulation upon it
And to set a bar and doors,11 And I went on to say, ‘This far you may come, and no farther;
And here your proud waves are limited’?12 Was it from your days onward that you commanded the morning?
Did you cause the dawn to know its place,13 To take hold on the extremities of the earth,
That the wicked ones might be shaken out from it?14 It transforms itself like clay under a seal,
And things take their station as in clothing.15 And from the wicked ones their light is held back,
And the high arm itself gets broken.16 Have you come to the sources of the sea,
Or in search of the watery deep have you walked about?17 Have the gates of death been uncovered to you,
Or the gates of deep shadow can you see?18 Have you intelligently considered the broad spaces of the earth?
Tell, if you have come to know it all.19 Where, now, is the way to where light resides?
As for darkness, where, now, is its place,20 That you should take it to its boundary
And that you should understand the roadways to its house?21 Have you come to know because at that time you were being born,
And [because] in number your days are many?22 Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow,
Or do you see even the storehouses of the hail,23 Which I have kept back for the time of distress,
For the day of fight and war?24 Where, now, is the way by which the light distributes itself,
[And] the east wind scatters about upon the earth?25 Who has divided a channel for the flood
And a way for the thunderous storm cloud,26 To make it rain upon the land where there is no man,
[Upon] the wilderness in which there is no earthling man,27 To satisfy storm-stricken and desolate places
And to cause the growth of grass to sprout?28 Does there exist a father for the rain,
Or who gave birth to the dewdrops?29 Out of whose belly does the ice actually come forth,
And as for the hoarfrost of heaven, who indeed brings it to birth?30 The very waters keep themselves hidden as by stone,
And the surface of the watery deep makes itself compact.31 Can you tie fast the bonds of the Ki´mah constellation,
Or can you loosen the very cords of the Ke´sil constellation?32 Can you bring forth the Maz´za·roth constellation in its appointed time?
And as for the Ash constellation alongside its sons, can you conduct them?33 Have you come to know the statutes of the heavens, Or could you put its authority in the earth?
34 Can you raise your voice even to the cloud,
So that a heaving mass of water itself may cover you?35 Can you send forth lightnings that they may go
And say to you, ‘Here we are!’?36 Who put wisdom in the cloud layers,
Or who gave understanding to the sky phenomenon?37 Who can exactly number the clouds in wisdom, Or the water jars of heaven—who can tip [them] over,
38 When the dust pours out as into a molten mass,
And the clods of earth themselves get stuck together?39 Can you hunt prey for a lion itself
And can you satisfy the lively appetite of young lions,40 When they crouch in the hiding places,
[Or] keep lying in the covert for an ambush?41 Who prepares for the raven its food
When its own young ones cry to God for help,
[When] they keep wandering about because there is nothing to eat? -

The images seem to originate from this protographer, who gives many such awesome and beautifully composed pics:
WOW, Leolaia! You're probably right. Someone sent these to my daughter representing these pics as of Katrina.
Well....they're awesome, anyway. Thanks, I'll let her know.

Hurricane Katrina was so huge, that I doubt you'd be able to see the light of the sky just a few miles away. After having seen an F5 tornado in Kansas, I'd say someone was misrepresenting the photos. Those really look like tornado shots.

Someone sent them to my daughter in an email, Ozzie. I've already sent her an email displaying the point of origin excerpted (sp) from Leolaia's post above.
Perhaps she can send a clarifying email to the people that sent the misinfo to her, eh?

Reading the photographer's comments, it is interesting that quite a few of these were taken in the middle of the night! These are timed exposures and the pics are lit by the lightning of the storm, so that it looks they were taken during the day.
Did you see the one showing stars?
Pretty amazing!
