We got slammed with rain last night. It was a severe thunderstorm and tornado warning! We were safely in our condo...but wow! Areas around us got golf-ball-sized-hail, but we were fine.
I took these pictures off of my balcony - and I know I photoshop a lot, but I
*promise* these pictures have not been enhanced, changed, etc. in any way except resizing them for the internet from my 8mp Nikon (no flash).
The 1st picture: The weather forecast last night. (Doppler radar image-not taken with my camera, of course.)
2nd pic:The dark night: (10:30pm-ish & the orange is a streetlight to the left)
3rd pic:.............LIGHTING!!! - See the bolt!?
OMG! I am so proud of myself right now....even though this particular camera has a bit of a delay so this was pretty much pure *luck*.
(I've heard no reports of this storm doing any damage except a few minor power outages in our area. Which is a good thing b/c we were watching the SURVIVOR Finale at the time, and the weather reports kept cutting in! Haha...grr!) Darnit Terry didn't win!
