Storms have always fascinated me. Even as a youngster, I would sit on our covered front porch to watch the storms until my mother made me come inside the house so I wouldn’t “get hit by lightning” (one of my mom’s fears as she saw her cousin get struck when they were at a swimming hole). :-O
Ha-ha! So would one of my daughters, who has always been frightened by storms. Of course, we lived in the Midwest in ‘Tornado Alley’ when she was born and was a young child so ‘hiding’ in the basement during tornado warnings added to her fright, I’m sure.
I’ve always told the sweetie.. I’m not moving to a tornado zone or an earthquake zone. The rest I can deal with, but those two… nuh uh. no way. no how. lol
Oh gosh, we’ve lived in both — tornado zones and earthquake zones. Honestly, tornadoes are scary but you usually do have warning one is headed your way. Earthquakes? No warning – just happens. And that’s scary in a different way.
Wonderful capture! Did it result in a good deluge, or was it all bluff?
It was a downpour! Buckets of rain all at once, but it didn’t last long. We’ve been having a lot of these storms lately, but they’re keeping the grass green and the flower and vegetable gardens healthy.
Great photos – I love watching a storm approach (from a safe place, of course!).

oooh pretty.
I need to send you some rain. I know you guys are desperate for it, and we’ve been getting adequate rainfalls.
Love love love the storm photos.
i miss thunderstorms SO much.
Thanks Ally for stopping by. I love storm photos too. Thunderstorms are pretty cool as long as no one gets struck by lightning!
ooo…I experienced two big storms while I was in Eastern NJ this past week. The clouds look like paintings.
We’ve had some wild storms come through — lost power for awhile, but nothing that lasted too long. Just a part of summer in our neck of the woods.
Wonderful clouds and well captured!
The sky changed so rapidly that day, I just had to haul out my camera! It was a quick moving storm too.
wow those are seriously impressive clouds. I’d be hiding. LOL
