Picture of the Day June 26, 2009Interesting cloud formationCLOUDSPosted for Thursday June 25th.............................I know I have talked about clouds before, but..........................
I enjoy watching a storm roll in. Or pass by. Watching a front move in. Watching a thunderstorm roll in.
I would actually like to join a group of tornado chasers out in the mid-west.
I can't control the weather. I can't stop a thunderstorm from rolling in.
So I might as well sit back and watch nature happen in front of me.
Take Wednesday evening. I was on the computer, and could hear thunder. Sun was shining here but dark clouds off to the east. Which in itself is odd, because storms always come from the northwest/west/southwest area. This was passing us by going northeast to southeast. I went out and sat in the backyard with the camera. There was a rainbow faintly in the direction of Mt. Mansfield.
Then I noticed this slender white thing in the middle of a dark cloud.
The more I look at it, the more I think that's an isolated downpour. Odd looking thing.
What's even weirder, was that I was watching TV, then around 8:45ish, took Rex outside..........and the ground was wet. It rained. And I didn't even know it. Never heard it, nothing.
