Mother Nature's right P.O'ed.

The last two evenings we've been smacked by some intense storm cells. 
What do you think of our fine Alberta skies? Like everything else here, it's 
go big or go home.





Uhoh, time to take cover, ya? But not me, nope. I'm the dummy standing outside taking pictures.






 



If you look closely, it resembles a fist don't you think? It packed quite the punch too.









 



Moody and mighty mad.









 Ok, so how dark can the skies get already?!






  
Ah yes, in the design world it's all about texture. Lots of 'texture' here. And the drops of rain that followed were fat and mean.







Living in Alberta, a person learns to watch the skies. Do you see this green'ish colour? This is a bad bad sign. This is usually the colour that precedes a tornado. Which, luckily, didn't happen. Whew! 












Welcome to a typical Alberta summer's night when Mother Nature unleashes her fury. Irked a tad, wouldn't you say?

  1. You're brave to be standing outside in that! I'd be hiding somewhere.

  3. LOL Cassandra, I've always been crazy that way. I LOVE being out in the middle of it.

    Dawn, they WERE right on top of me. We had a couple of funnel clouds that, thankfully, disappeared.
