Mother Nature's Mood Swings (An April Storm Series)

100 x: The 2023 Edition Image 31 ~ Theme My Favorite Photos for the month of April.

 

Mother Nature showed her full beauty and power from April 19th-22nd, 2023 in several mid-western states, including Illinois. Her mood swings included temperatures from nearly 80 degrees down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit, clouds too crazy looking to believe if not witnessed, drenching rains, powerful wind gusts from 30-60 mph, hail as big as golf balls, thunder, lightning, tornadoes, and even snow flurries! Then, when her mood finally calmed down, the sun broke through the clouds and a spectacular double rainbow could be seen far and wide! We were among the fortunate ones, who escaped any damage; however, many across the storms' path had their homes, cars, and property destroyed, and there were numerous injuries and deaths reported. It is predicted that there will be many more severe storms to come this spring and summer. It is rather nerve-wracking to say the least. But for today we are safe and thankful.
