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.

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...

Post by: GRAYWOLF on April 04, 2007, 12:12:59 PM: 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.............
