Holy Storm!

This one crept up quite quick, and (from the news reports I've heard) it ripped the roof clean off a house in my suburb. The ceiling fan of the house was in the middle of the street. We had a lot of thunder and lightning, some rain and wind, but no damage in my street, luckily.

So here's the approaching doom...



And this was a few minutes later... focused mostly on the lighter parts of the sky, hence why the photo looks a bit gloomy and murderous...



I was still iffy as to whether we would get any rain, but as the clouds got closer, it looked as though we would definitely get some rain, even though the big band of cloud was passing over us before the rain came down.











And as the cloud got overhead, they began to look darker and darker, especially as it started to rain.







Once it started to rain, though, it rained in one direction, and then in the other, which was quite amusing as well as interesting. It rained for about half an hour minimum, and then the wind started up...









Next door's gutters were pouring with water, as were ours...



The wet tree in the backyard...



The house across the street had their outdoor blinds ruffled...



And soon, all was once again peaceful...



*Aww* I like that last pic... There's something serene and tranquil about it...

Anyhoo, until next time...
