indeed, the earth is not a cold dead place ( see what i did there? ). seen on my early evening run. had to trespass in a few backyards to get a proper vantage. glad i made the effort 🙂
they say, the average cloud weighs a million pounds. i’m guess this one is above average.
we drove back from madison and just missed what looked like an impressive hailstorm about 10 miles from home. “phew!” we thought, only to discover we arrived just before quarter sized hail was to start falling in viroqua.
and fall it did! it’s hard to tell because it’s dark out but i think damage was minimal to cars on the street, but i’m glad we got the car in the garage!
driving slowly down a country road overloaded with black locust, a line of clouds appeared and i wondered if maybe things are going to get even trickier.
i was pretty sure a tornado was going to drop out of the line of clouds that stretched as far as the eye could see.
just drove through a line of clouds that i was certain was going to drop a tornado right on top the vehicle.

happily, no tornadoes appeared, but it did start dumping down rain which made unloading the wood even more fun!
certainly a candidate for HDR imaging, but i totally flaked out and didn’t shoot any brackets.
