We stopped by the Gordon's this afternoon so Liz could say "hello." There were thunderstorms forecast and the sky was darkening, so I went out on their back deck, where we watch fireworks from each July. This was the scene! These clouds were moving fast, and we could see over the water to the north, rain was coming down. So we decided to leave and head home. And then it poured. And the winds started to blow. There were tornado warnings in the center of the island as well.
After the storm cleared, I headed over to the grocery store to get fixings for dinner. When I got out of the car, this was the scene - blue sky and sunshine! The difference between night and day. There is an old saying in New England: "If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes!"
Great photos of amazing weather changes within a few hours. Thunder and lightening here was scary around 3:00 p.m.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Liz was coming. Big Hi and Hugs to her. How long is she staying?

Wonderful photos of the extreme changes in the weather in such a short time! I drove home from Cy's as soon as the thunder and lightning stopped, The volume of water on Rt 15 along with severe winds created the sensation that my car was not gripping the road. Your timing of the photos was perfect!

These are great photos! It's cool to see the sky before and after the storm. I love that old New England expression, so very true. Trace
