Thunder & Lightning in the Foothills

Thunder and lightning visited the foothills early this morning. Did you hear or see it? It's one of the payoffs of living in God's country. In the middle of summer you can get a surprise thunderstorm or two. And just when you're getting tired of the 100 degree days and they're beginning to wear on you, that's when it happens. I took a few pictures and a video after my morning jog of the cloud formations which are included in this post. (Click pictures to enlarge.) Oh, and isn't it just great the smell of the air after the early morning showers? And the coolness? I hope you like the pictures and video. And if you have any pictures of area weather and/or places of interest that you'd like to send me that you think might make a good blog post, feel free: email Mike C.
