At Home, SE Arizona

I'm posting this in response to all of your kind words of concern over our huge storm last night.
Thank you so much. We survived high winds of up to 70 mph; full sky lightning and thunder; and
torrential-like rain! The cats hid in and under whatever they could until it subsided. Our
electricity came and went so much we just turned everything off except the reading lights and read in between the black-outs.
All is still standing. The internet, however, is still soooooo slow that I do not have the patience to
even attempt to make comments on your wonderful work.
I'll catch up with you as soon as it comes back to a more normal speed.

You are having the rain and we are having a severe drought. I think we are now in the 18th month. Weather can be fickle. This is a lovely cloudscape. Voted.

Those clouds are nothing short of amazing. I'm happy to learn you suffered no damage!

Nice capture of the calm before the storm, Carol. Yes, you certainly got hammered yesterday. I got some decent lightning shots from the second cell going through your area last night --- lots of activity. Fun for me, but a real pain for you (sorry to hear about the slow connection).

I am glad that everything went well, Carol and after the storm your search for beauty continued, this time with this wonderful cloud formation.
