Rain

It's been a bad drought.  Last night on the porch, with the first few sprinkles of rain hitting, I think all of Wichita looked skyward like the children of Dune, and wondered what it was.

The rest of 2010

I'm bad at best of. . . I'd rather have new!

Leftovers of a severe thunderstorm at old lookout peak at I-235 and 25th.

I miss lightning.

Loved the saucer shape this storm anviled out to.



2nd season's only tornado warned storm.  The left side of this produced baseball (some claim up to softball) size hail.  One large stone found out in a field 3 hours after the storm was short of the state record by 1/2".



Found out my wife didn't see the double rainbow guy video, so she thought I went insane saying "Double Rainbow!" and "What does it mean?".



Harvest Full moon at Midnight.  Couldn't sleep.
















Happy 2011 and may we hear thunder in the new year.

Two days later.

Wow. Two days ago, hunkered down in my brother-in-laws because the ice storm took our power and we watched a blizzard rage outside.

Today 72. Most of the snow, gone like a bad prom date.

Then around five tonight, started watching a squall line initiate almost overhead. It prompted a couple of warning down in Oklahoma but just dumped some rain out this way.

Went back out after supper and shot the last couple of pics. The back end of a squall line usually isn't much to look at.

and I believe this is the next front causing all the wind outside now . . .

lets hear it for dense air.
