eponymous_roseSo the storm just passed on by without so much as a flicker of lightning. What I said earlier, about extending the tornado watch? Cancel that. Heehee.
Feeling much better now I've got power and fish and things. Huzzah!
Anyway, here are a few pictures I've snagged of the clouds around here lately, from my bedroom, because I'm just a geek that way. They're terrible quality, and here's why: my options are either to snap photos through my screen (in which case, of course, the camera locks onto the grid no matter how many times I tell it to "landscape"), or through my dirty window. So, um, yes. Not Photoshopped or GIMPed or anything, because that'd be way too much work. :D
Okay. First storm of the season, I'm all excited and snapping pictures. Nothing exciting to see here at all. Unless, of course, you pretend that tree's falling on your head. Then it's exciting!
See? THE TREE IS FALLING ON YOUR HEAD! (it helps if you shake your computer monitor at this point, for added dramatic effect. thank you.)
Okay, so that wasn't a very good set of pictures.
This storm, despite being very blurry, produced several huge funnel clouds and was generally terrifying. The smaller, pinkish clouds are moving at about five times the speed of the others. This is generally not a good sign.
That particular storm was also ridiculously pretty.
This was the view from my window when I got home from work today - those little sort of round clouds are called mammatus, and they just sort of hang around and demonstrate turbulence on the underside of a thunderstorm's anvil cloud. They're not particularly useful when you're trying to distinguish between severe and non-severe thunderstorms, though, because they just show up some of the time, regardless. Jerks. *shakes fist*
And this is the view out my window as we speak. Um. Speaking of anvil clouds. So I guess my hopes of a quiet night are in vain, eh? :D
And now to read "Camera Obscura", which I'd totally forgotten was by Lloyd Rose! :D
