Those are impressive pics. An occasional thunderstorm is always entertaining.

I had a run-in with some severe weather in Wyoming on Sunday. At one point I was driving across the high plains and I could see six different thunderstorms moving across the land. I drove right through the middle of a particularly nasty one; the sky went eerily dark at 2 in the afternoon and for a while I had to follow the lights of the semi in front of me. I wasn't about to put myself in the line of fire and pull onto the shoulder during the cloudburst. The icing on the cake was the funnel cloud I spotted a few miles south of I-80. I don't know if it was a tornado or a microburst, but it looked nasty.

I saw an amazing storm once...it was a single cloud, moving at about 60 mph a couple of miles away from me, moving parallel [thank God!] from whereI ws standing.  Lightning bolts were shooting out of it constantly, and from all different directions.  There had been a confirmed tornado in the vicinity a few minutes earlier, but an all-clear was issued.  I've never seen anything like it before or since...

Evidently, Yahoo creates temp URLs when you view pictures, so I will upload them to Photobucket and redirect the links, in a little while.

They weren't right overhead. They were 5-10 miles East & South of me. Not even much thunder beyond distant rumblings.

Here in TX, no one has a basement.

That wasn't a T-Storm, it was a UFO!  :D

I was sitting in Charlotte waiting for a plane to Cincy where I would catch my flight to KC. Cincy was closed due to T-Storms, tornado warnings etc. Made for a long night, but I finally got home OK.............
