Friday we had a sever weather warning for unseasonably high temperatures. Saturday we had a nice rainstorm come through. Tonight we had a sever thunderstorm pass over. Usually storms go around Havasu. In fact most of the storms today did just that as seen in these photo.
Note the frowns on the palms. The wind was blowing mighty hard.
Then one hit just about dinnertime. We sat at our dinette and watched out the window as it came over. For a while there I thought we were going to loose a window to the nickel sized hail. The wind was slamming the hail against the window pretty hard. We watched as our patio furniture slid across the patio into the motorhome and Susan’s favorite pot blew over and cracked even though I had a pretty good size rock in the bottom. After the mayhem we were treated to a lightning show that rivals a good fireworks show. I went out and snapped a bunch of pictures in hopes to get some shots.
I missed the million dollar shot of a big lightning bolt going right through a rainbow. That was cool.

WOW!!! Looks like you had an exciting afternoon. Good shots of the lightning
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to take pictures of lightning. It is so difficult due to the infrequency of the strikes and the speed. Last night the lightning was so plentifully that it became possible.
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful shots of the lightning.
