Summer Storms... Part 2

Fun night tonight here in Nebraska, hot and muggy like a shower, with a big strong warm front right on top of us. One of those days that you know the weather is going to get exciting.

Tornado sirens blowing, and blue skies over head... Its an odd sensation, until you take a glance to the west and realize that big black cloud rolling in from the west looks like it means business.

The daylight shots are from right after the sirens quit blowing as the storm was just getting ready to roll in, while the the night ones after the hail and the rain had passed.

Ooooooo, snazzy pictures! I didn't get any pictures of the storm last night, although I did have an excellent view of some candidates for inclusion in the Darwin awards.... Hint: It is really not a good idea to sit out in your backyard in a metal swing during a wild thunderstorm like we had last night. A full beer cooler offers no real protection. Oh, and retreating to stand directly under a tree after a particularly big blast is not the best of plans either... Lightning & trees... not the best of friends.
