This first set is from last night's storm to the SW of us. I was lucky in that it was nearly stationary for the 2 hours I stalked it. The people under it were not quite so lucky. Some photos from previous days:

Watching the sky
Recent weather photos: Our family (all of it...) loves weather. Unfortunately, Moppet panics when she hears thunder. Me: “You’ve heard thunder lots and lots of times.

We drove over to the church to simultaneously check on it (it's fine) and give everyone an airing. Here are some of the photos I took … Continue reading Aftermath
