Awesome threatening sky, Jeff. It has been such a wet spring, ending with awful consequences for so many. Sounds like you stayed safe. #11313478

Emile Abbott level-deluxe June 06, 2015

What drama in the sky and fabulous tones. Well composed and presented. Hope you did not have any damage from the storms. Where we were staying in the hill country at the Smith-Crossley ranch the storms tore up and totally damaged a storage barn with tractors and other ranch stuff but no one hurt.
We had 10 inches in 7 days. Time to dry now.
