Storm photos

I'm a little late posting, since the storm was last week already, but I thought you all might be interested in the freaky clouds that passed over our house:

Here's the front rolling in.

These wispy clouds were roiling constantly as they came over the trees. (That's the one drawback to having a good windbreak -- it's tough to see the storm coming until it's right on you.)

See that spot in the middle? That was rotating. Some people a mile away saw a funnel form and drop down from the cloud briefly, but it didn't touch down.

The contrast in color in the clouds was quite dramatic.

I went back in after a few minutes, as did Dave -- then he ran out to the barn for something. He said the really bad-looking clouds had already passed, but they still look a little rough in this photo, which I took out the kitchen window.

... And after all that, it wasn't much of a storm. We got 0.4 inches of rain, a little bit of strong winds. Just an ordinary thunderstorm!
