The other day, Mon Amour and I watched a thunderstorm come in. It is pretty cool to watch them come from afar - you can see it raining off in the distance, long before it gets to you.
It started off fairly innocent looking - just the normal line o' clouds.

Then the clouds turned dark. Very dark.
Like Whoa! Very very dark!
So we went inside to watch it from there.
It came over the house (moving from east to west - the kitchen window in this picture faces west)
It was amazing to watch - the clouds were about as black as the ground. And you could watch the two converge on one another.
By this time the rain and the lightening had started. And a few minutes later when the clouds hit the visible horizon, it became pointless to take pictures. It was pitch black dark.
All in all, it wasn't the worst storm I have ever seen, probably didn't actually make it to the top 10 event.
But it was definitely one of the coolest to watch come in.
While watching it from inside - as the clouds slowly got closer to the horizon, it felt like the sky was falling...almost literally.

I was in that storm. Well not literally. But I was in the back of an ambulance driving from Fairlee to Chestertown. I was running to my truck from the Walgreens when the rain started. It was a pretty storm.
