Lightning Strikes

Lightning Strikes
During a tornado warning and sirens going off, of course where was I? Out in the field taking pictures.

A rain drop decided to join in on the fun as it hit my lens while taking this photo...

I went inside and took cover after this shot as it started to rain harder and I was getting wet.

Thank you Toni!
I just love storms and taking photos of their progression:) I wish all the destruction would not come out of it though.

Fantastic shot, Karen. This really looks intense. Nature can get very ugly very fast - do try to stay safe.

Thank you Bojan!

I grew up in Oklahoma where you do not have basements, ground does not support them. We would go out and watch the storms then also!

I was keeping my eye out the whole time for anything that would make me run for cover...at least in Nebraska we have a basement in our house, so I feel much safer knowing I have a place to run too.
