18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Twister
Monstrous storm clouds encircle Portland Breakwater Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. It looked like a twister wrapping itself around this tiny lighthouse, more affectionately known as “Bug Light” due to its small size. A downpour followed, which sent people scurrying for cover and boats racing into the harbor for refuge. This rapid moving thunderstorm blew through as quickly as it arrived, and clear skies soon returned.
