Boom Boom

The weather has been pretty intense the past week. We've been lucky in avoiding the tornado stuff. There has been plenty of thunder and lightning though. My dog will not miss it in Vegas I'm sure. It's so strange though that he's scared of thunder here, when in Maryland, storms didn't phase him at all. I'm not sure what made the storms scary.

Our house is technically sold. I say technically, since we still have the house inspection and VA appraisal to get through, and the appraisal won't happen for over a month.

Here are a couple of pics. If I weren't so lazy these days, I could have at least stitched a 180 for the first pic. To the left was a subtle long continuation of the lighter bands. I just really liked the one lit cloud tip and resulting ray.

The next pic is not about the lightning, but that it's a single bolt coming straight down on the new hospital here. With the cloud set above that reminds me of Fright Night, I just thought it was cool.


The lightning was so exquisite the other night. You'd see a bolt go down, and immediately five forked fingers would go up and outward almost 270 degreess around you. The sky was lit green, revealing the sinister swirls hovering like Independence Day ships amidst the sheets of curvy rain in the backdrop. I would've taken more pics, but the ole lithiums aren't what they used to be.
