Storms from 07/14/09

Nothing too spectacular in the storm. Most of the structure was covered by rain. I think it caused one quick warning for Sedgwick but nothing like the storm the previous week.

070809 Wichita Large Hail Storm

It all started off with my wife saying "Wow, those clouds are pretty." Then I heard the thunder.

I was out for about an hour and a half taking lightning pics not knowing it was hailing like mad downtown. I got home as the first drops of rain hit out here in the "Sticks".

Train vs. Tornado

Got this on e-mail. Thanks, Steve.

Train hit by a tornado earlier this year in Illinois. Apparently that tanker bouncing towards the camera was loaded with Ethylene Oxide.

manmade thunder and lightning

Happy 4th.
