The morning storm dumped a good bit of much needed rain!
During the evening storm I tried to catch a few photos of the lightning. Boy, it is hard to photograph lightning! This is what I ended up with...
In the bottom photo, I accidentally timed it so the lightning made it look like it was daytime instead of pitch black night. If you look really close you can see one of the patio chairs overturned by the guest house front porch.
In the neighborhood just north of us, there were tons of trees taken down by the storm. Thankfully, we didn't have any damage. We have a had a pretty boring monsoon season this year so we were happy to have two storms (with rain!) in one day. The weather here can get pretty boring... sunny and hot, repeat... so different weather of any kind is welcomed by all of us!
We had SO much fun with these two storms!! They were two of the most powerful storms we've ever had. Our neighbor lost two full-grown trees - never happened before. The children had SO much fun - they asked for a fire in the fireplace, hot chocolate, and started drawing Christmas pictures. They were just so excited for some non-hot weather! We loved it. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty impressive storms. Glad family, pets and homes were okay. So much fun to actually get "weather" sometimes. Luv, G. Linda
