Last night's big storm

We had some thunder and lightning last nite.
And strong winds.
And hail.
And power flickering.
Oh, and a tornado warning went off JUST AFTER the storm cell left us...

The back yard was plenty flooded, as was the front. The hail was only about pea-size - so nothing too bad. Winds were really strong - had to flip over some patio furniture and potted veggies this morning.





After the storm passed (around the time we got the tornado warning) we went outside to check things out - it took me maybe a hundred or so rapid fire pictures with the camera, but I got some really nifty shots of the lightning. I couldn't hit the button when I saw lightning - that was too slow, too late.

There's something, well, godly about those photos. You did get one bolt of lightning in there, so nicely done on that. But the light effect on the clouds alone makes for quite an interesting series of shots.

Wow - cool - duck!

Hope the garden survived the onslaught!
