Summer storm

We had a nice summer storm yesterday afternoon. It was balmy all day, the thunder started up in the afternoon, followed by a nice light show and lots of rain. We ended up with thunderstorm warnings, flood warnings and a tornado watch before it was over with. I captured bits and pieces of it on my digital camera between 5:30 and 6:00 pm and thought I'd share it here.

Here is the thunder off in the distance working up to a big rainstorm.


Here is some footage of the rain that came shortly after the thunder began.


I love the storms, the sounds, the smell - all of it. Weather fascinates me to no end. I wonder sometimes what it would have been like growing up with storms and 'weather'.
