Storm Clouds

When I say I miss home, this is what I mean. Thunderheads like cauliflower, roiling clouds so low you could touch them if you stood on top of an average building, ominous darkness, eerie glow, air that's alive with the low pressure. And all the other phenomena you get before and after: hanging mists, rainbows, mammatus and undulatus clouds, golden or pink skies, sunbursts, etc..

All photos mine. Some edited to bring out colour and contrast not captured in the original photos, others left as is.

Four of the photos in this post are from a storm last summer that ended up producing a tornado. Most of the others are from storms that were severe enough that watches were in place but no tornado. And the rest were just a standard thunderstorm or rainstorm. Can you guess which were which? :)

Wow! How about THIS incredible image of some Kansas cowboys riding in the Flint Hills, near Cassoday, ahead of an approaching storm/shelf cloud.

good afternoon, folks

we’ve got a doozy!

we’ve got a rather strong Low making its way northeastward into Canada and while it does so, it’s been slinging some relentless violent storms at us throughout today.

we just got through having our 3rd thunderstorm of the day (~4th if you count the one we presumably had overnight, after waking up to see schmutz all over our glass door and windows).

I actually caught the shelf cloud of the storm front on video — here’s the footage sped up. it’s rare to see a storm come in towards the house, rather than the right side. instead of coming directly from the west, it’s coming from the southwest because of how the Low works. check out those absolutely gnarly, wind-torn fractus clouds. the video doesn’t do justice to how close those felt.

I got caught in the 2nd thunderstorm not even that long ago during a trip to 7-11 (fun!) it was during that one that I received an emergency flash flood warning on my phone. with all the rain dropped on us with no signs of letting up, it’s no wonder! I’m hoping people are staying safe and away from flood-prone areas around here.
