Wild Weather


We had some crazy weather the other day. This first picture is from about 2:30 in the afternoon. It got really dark and these clouds just moved in very quickly. In fact, the sky turned a greenish color. We had intense rain, thunder, and lightning that lasted for about 30 minutes. Even though the sky was green, there was no tornado.

Then 4 hours later, when it had cleared up considerably, a neighbor called and wanted to know if our boys wanted to come over and play in their sandbox. I sent them out and in less than 5 minutes the sky looked like this.

It was really quite amazing how quickly the clouds starting rolling across the sky. I guess these clouds were called a "wall cloud" and that can signal that a tornado is coming.


There was no tornado, just a repeat of the earlier storm with lots of thunder and lighting and thick rain.

It sure made for a beautiful sunset later on.
