Saw a storm coming in after work so I hit the rims for a view. I really need to get a heavy ND filter so I can get some cool daytime long exposures. Anyone want to donate?
large storm swells sweep towards Curl Curl beach in Sydney, June 2012. I don't often compose with a centred horizon but on this occasion it seemed to work best - a meeting of dramatic sea and sky. Canon 5D. LR4.
With some added contrast this is what I actually saw. It was quite spectacular thunderstorm that night.

18/07/14 An unbelievable electrical storm passed overhead about 3am this morning. As the storm passed through to the north, there were some spectacular flashes every few seconds
Police in Greater Manchester have arrested over 120 people as part of their latest blitz on burglary and robbery.
Officers carried out a number of warrants under Operation Storm which included the arrest of wanted offenders and those that have been targeting the city’s students. Approximately 90 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £90,000 were recovered at an address in Fallowfield, along with cultivation equipment at an estimated value of £10,000.
Some of the wanted offenders arrested included 18-year old and 19-year old men who were wanted for a cash in transit robbery. On arresting the pair an amount of cash was recovered. Officers also arrested a 25-year old man wanted following a robbery on a taxi driver and a 19-year old man wanted for an assault.
Specialist and divisional officers have visited the homes of criminals across the county to ensure they fulfilled their bail and curfew conditions and not returning to their offending ways.
There have also been home visits carried out to repeat victims of domestic abuse to ensure their abusing partners do not return to cause them further harm.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for Greater Manchester Police, said: “Our actions during the operation show we respond to the concerns of local people and the misery burglary and drug dealing causes to people living across Greater Manchester.
“The response we got from people on the streets who witnessed our activity was fantastic and demonstrated the confidence people have to give us information and work with us to tackle criminality.
“Last month saw the return of students old and new but for criminals it simply means rich and easy pickings. By holding this operation we can bring down this type of crime and ensure the youngsters can enjoy their time while studying in the city without the fear of becoming a victim of crime.
“As the nights get darker there is a rise in the number of opportunist thieves who like to prey on unsuspecting homes. By getting in before they do we can help put a stop in their tracks. This crackdown, coupled with our daily offender targeting sends criminals a clear message that they can’t harm our community with impunity.
“However we can’t make a difference on our own. By using a light timer, setting an alarm and making your home look occupied you can reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime. Remember one in three homes are targeted because homes are left insecure.”
Residents can play their part in the fight against criminals by reporting suspicious activity either directly on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity that will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

Forest Hills, Queens, NYC
September 16, 2010
It all happened within 5 minutes.... At about quarter to 6, without warning, during the height of the evening rush, the most violent storm in recent memory tore across Staten Island, Brooklyn and central Queens. One tornado, with winds of 80 mph sent rooftops flying in Brooklyn, and a second tornado touched down in Queens, combined with a macroburst with winds in excess of 120mph. There was one tragic fatality, 1,500 trees were lost, 3,000 lightning strikes were counted, and 911 fielded 24,000 calls in the three hours following the storm.
The sky was getting dark, but having heard nothing on the weather forecast, I went out to the supermarket. As I walked back there was near constant thunder and I almost ran to get home, feeling the impending intensity in the air. I hurried up the front walk of our apartment just as the first big drops were falling and by the time I made it upstairs, water was blasting through the windows. Even after I closed them, water was coming THROUGH the air conditioner. You could see nothing outside but a dark-green and grey swirl and it sounded as if someone was punching the glass, trying to get in. The wind seemed to come from everywhere. And then it was suddenly gone.
Almost immediately, the sirens began, and I'm sure many were injured. Very sadly, a woman from Pennsylvania was killed nearby in her car. Our front walkway was barricaded by fallen trees, which was the general scene everywhere. Every block was littered with trees, many of them huge and ancient. A few windows in our building were smashed out. Eerily, there were also a number of shoes and umbrellas laying around- discarded as people ran for cover. In the air was the smell of fire. I must have seen more than 40 damaged cars, and about ten which were completely crushed. Many streets were impassable, and a traffic nightmare quickly ensued- total gridlock, people going the wrong way down streets, pedestrians everywhere, and off-duty cops trying their best to keep the peace. Someone told me it took him one hour to drive two blocks.
The general sense on the street was one of disbelief, as many homebound commuters emerged from the subway totally unaware of what happened, the unique Forest Hills blend of trees and urban-ness mangled out of recognition. As night fell, the scene became more chaotic still, with snarled traffic and constant sirens lasting until well after midnight. Firefighters from other neighborhoods were having trouble navigating the bizarre address system of Queens, and worse, could barely fight through the crowds. I overheard on a police radio that, among other incidents, a woman was going into labor a few blocks away.
Up at Queens Boulevard, a few stores had lost their windows- some had overturned shelves and puddles of water. Many signs were damaged and some teenagers were gleefully carrying a huge green "Yellowstone Blvd" sign that had fallen.
After midnight, there was a bit of peace, but within an hour around 7am, the chaos returned full force. There's a lot of clean-up to be done, and I imagine it will take weeks. All told, however, we are lucky. It is amazing, though sad, that there was only one fatality- that almost everyone managed to stay clear of all the falling trees is miraculous. Far worse things happen all the time around the world. Still, the words on everyone's lips as you walk through the neighborhood today are best summed up by what I heard an elderly woman say in a thick Russian accent: "In my life, I never seen nothing like this"
We had a crazy thunder storm yesterday so i set the camera up to try and capture some lightning. I ddint get a decent shot of lightning but the storm clouds rolling in made a great time lapse video
A giant puppet of a sea goddess made entirely of recycled materials walked through Glasgow during the COP26 climate change summit. STORM also met Little Amal in Govan.
National Weather Service issued a Dust storm warning Tuesday evening. Braved the wind and dirt to capture the front roll into the neighborhood.
Storm Kathleen is in full fury, Beaumaris pier was closed and remained so after the storm, it was covered in seaweed and debris.

I've fiddled with colour channels, and ended up with a Black & white - looking rough like I felt the weather was.
