It's arrived, packing a punch, but so far the winds are not damaging & we are getting sunny spells as forecast!

Approaching Storm! Looking out of the bedroom window this morning.
Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation.
Another thunderstorm, this time much closer and nearer to home. Image grabbed from a movie taken with my Canon 6d, 28mm lens.
I asked them to pose together... this is what I got. Felt bad for the guy dressed as Cyclops, tho. His uniform is almost all vinyl and he was sweating up a storm - ugh, bad pun, sorry - he was sweating a lot and having a hard time holding onto Storm.
UPDATE: These cosplayers were feature in the "A Compendium of Cool Comics Cosplay: July 13th (2012)" ! Yay!!!! :-D
This Hubble Space Telescope image of the ringed planet Saturn shows a rare storm that appears as a white arrowhead-shaped feature near the planet's equator. The storm is generated by an upwelling of warmer air, similar to a terrestrial thunderhead.
The Hubble images show that Saturn's prevailing winds shape a dark "wedge" that eats into the western (left) side of the bright central cloud. The planet's strongest eastward winds (clocked at 1,000 miles per hour from analysis of Voyager spacecraft images taken in 1980-81) are at the latitude of the wedge.
To the north of this arrowhead-shaped feature, the winds decrease so that the storm center is moving eastward relative to the local flow. The clouds expanding north of the storm are swept westward by the winds at higher latitudes. The strong winds near the latitude of the dark wedge blow over the northern part of the storm, creating a secondary disturbance that generates the faint white clouds to the east (right) of the storm center.
The storm's white clouds are ammonia ice crystals that form when an upward flow of warmer gases shoves its way through Saturn's frigid cloud tops. This current storm is larger than the white clouds associated with minor storms that have been reported more frequently as bright cloud features.

17th July 2023 was a day of storms and sunshine, leading to some dramatic skies as seen here over Handforth with Alderley Edge and Wilmslow in the distance
Late afternoon storm, blowing across Yosemite Park's 8,500 ft Tenaya Lake. Rain and hail; thunder and lightning (flashing only a mile overhead - closer than this lake is long!), mist and fog. What more could we possible ask for an autumn afternoon visit!?
Even when you're wrapped up in recording images in some situations, images captured stand out within your own mind. This is one of those impressions, for me. My wife and I have experienced a number of moods and situations at Tenaya Lake over the years, but this opportunity was one of those "special" ones, simply by the uniqueness of the moment. Of the iced-over lake three years ago, maybe several thousand visitors enjoyed the few weeks of ice skating and such. This brief but intense storm had the pausing travelers counted in the tens, not the hundreds or thousands.
(I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes across on a 16x20 canvas-wrap print!)
Some nice clouds rolled into the area tonight. I decided to break out the Canon EOS 7D and Sigma wide angle lens for some shots.
The clouds were rotating in the middle, the wind was really intense and there was some thunder in the distance but the storm didn't do much damage.

A small storm cell near Windsor, Quebec.
Une belle petite cellule orageuse près de Windsor, Québec.
Managed to get lightning after years and years of trying. Not perfect but better than a slap in the belly with a wet fish (which I don't recommend ..... it hurts).

Psalm 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
