And today's weather

[wraithfodder]

Nasty thunderstorms were predicted for today, but around 7:00pm, things didn't look so bad. 



And then after we got out of the store....

It got a bit dark...


And darker! Well, not THIS dark, as the camera just said, oh, light clouds, less time on the shot, but it looked cool. The two little lights below are a car headed our way, but the clouds were dark!


However, after one or two big bangs of thunder, some rain (but nothing torrential), the sky lightened. The flash made it come out orange, although it wasn't that deep shade, but again, cool effect shot through some bushes.

Yaknow, it is times like these that I personally go kinda paranoid when a big storm is coming, moreso at night when nobody can actually see the thunderheads themselves untill the rain comes down like a river, then it is just light rian when the area tornado sirens go off...... then the next day is bright and sunny and there is no damage (save for some water on the roads) and guess what they do for the day? they test the tornado sirens. it has gotton to once a month and nobody pays much attention to the things anymore unless they actually see the tornado.

Beautiful pictures! which I could take a picture of something like that, but no camera

well, fortunately, don't live in an area with tornadoes (just excessively high taxes, sigh). well, you can probably get a cheap digital camera now and do shots like this. :)
