Title: Black Clouds, High Winds, Heavy Rain, Bright Sunshine, all in ten minutes
Post by: Henry on May 31, 2009, 06:38:08 PM

In the past ten minutes we have seen some heavy black clouds, really high winds, heavy rain and now bright sunshine.  Just saw a pickup truck going by really slow taking a photo of the sun phenomenon with their cell phone.  Didn't go out and take a look, but am sure somebody will grab a photo and email it to me.

 I put the garden in today. Just heard the frost warning so I went out to put buckets over the plants. Went from ok looking to black to SNOW and then back to sun.  Hopefully the garden makes it, was hopeing this would be the year we don't have to replant. The last 3 yrs either frost, rain or birds have gotten most of the first planting.

Add in a huge double rainbow in the mix, didn't get pics because it was still raining!

I'll bet that is what the woman passenger was taking the photo of.  She had her cell phone out the window and the truck was driving very slow, but as you said Judi, it was raining and I didn't go out even though the wind had let up.
