Thunderstorm photos

[wraithfodder]

Took these tonight. Skies opened up when I drove up the driveway, so had to sit there for ten minute while it poured, hailed, and wind wept around. Luckily, we did not lose power. Phew!

A leaf blew on the car window. Thought it looked neat so took a snapshot.




Didn't realize I'd caught the red-tailed hawk in the photo till I downloaded.

More stormclouds

and lastly...



Hail off the lawn, served up in the macaroni'n'cheese dish I saved from last nice. Hmmm, mac'n'cheese....

I love storm pictures and these are really great. I love the leaf on the windshield, but I also love the fluffy white clouds nestled between the dark clouds. How beautiful! Thanks for sharing...

Glad we didn't have to share the hail! Nasty stuff!

Hmmm, mac'n'cheese....yum!!!

Alas, too many trees in the way, but the clouds were fantastic. And fortunately the hail was small. If it had been large, well, my car wouldn't look so good then! ;)

Thanks. I thought so too.

Oh, pretty :D Wish it would rain here so that it can cool off a little.

That was me. Sorry about that. For some reason LJ logged me out as I was posting the above.

Great photos but holy cow! Those hail stones are HUGE!!!

Glad to see no damage came to you by them *hug*

Nice leaf. And holy hell, that's some serious hail! I think that's the size of the stuff that destroyed my car a few months back!

Nice pics, love the leaf one! Don't love the size of that hail, though! Glad I live in the UK, where the hail is never that big!!

well, marble size, not golf-ball size. it's a stouffer's mac'n'cheese container (small size) so you can judge by that ;)

It would have been nice if you guys in CT had SHARED with those of us dying of drought in NYC.
