They decided to chase the storm and get a closer look.
I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be up close, Rowe tells My Modern Met.
We drove down dirt roads, stopping every once in a while to take some pictures.
The place that I took that picture was actually our last stop.
I had no idea at the time that photo I took was going to go viral.
Looking at the photo, it’s easy to see why it went viral.
Since sharing her work, Rowe has been happily surprised by the reception.
The response that I have had to this photo is so incredible, she admits.
It makes me feel so blessed.
I truly feel like God put me in the right place at the right time.
Still, the positives far outweigh any negative aspects.
Like I said before, I truly do feel like this is a blessing.
