Sky Watching

Here's a shot of the sky last night (Thursday), as a storm barely missed us, curled around from the south and ended up east of us. The sun is setting under the clouds, lighting up the back twenty and our neighbor to the east. (See how high the weeds are back there this summer? They almost hide our redneck pickup.)



















These next three shots were from Tuesday night, when we watched a terrific windstorm sweep in from the south. You can see the clouds coming down and the dust coming up.

And some more of those oatmeal bowl mammatus clouds overhead.

Here's what it looked and sounded like. If I'd kept the camera rolling another couple of minutes, you could have seen how the Dust Bowl felt. We were pelted! Some branches blew down and the tent we had pitched in the back yard tried to fly to Kansas.
