Today, a little variety pack of recent skies.
The first two pictures were taken July 8.
These last two pictures were taken about four hours before a destructive storm hit our area on July 3. Many think we had a tornado but the weather service has determined it was a microburst. Trees down everwhere, lots of hail damage, many people without power for a day or so. I know someone whose car was totalled and another person who suffered a lot of damage to her home. They mentioned our area briefly on the national news that night.
I know what happened was minor compared to what has happened in several communities since, and I, myself was fortunate - only minor damage for us.
Just because it doesn't hit the national headlines, it doesn't mean it's not significant. I hope your area is recovering now.
ReplyDeleteGood skies.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. And I’m sorry about the storm.
ReplyDelete...keep looking up those beautiful skies.

an artist reflects ~ thanks.
Your beautiful skies make me feel like I'm soaring through the air.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the damage was minor.
I've not heard of microburst before. I'm glad you only received minimal damage, still a stressful event!
ReplyDeleteI live in Colorado and this summer has brought thunderstorms almost every day --the Rocky Mountains create that weather. The storms sometimes bring tornados to the plains. It's been a dramatic weathe ryear, Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, microbursts can cause lots of damage and they seem to come out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Sorry to hear about the storm and the microburst. There was a microburst several years ago by my dads trailer that blew part of his roof off.
ReplyDeleteDon't downplay it. Just because it was minor in the grand scheme, it was terrible for those that lived through it. Yikes. Too many major weather events happening.
ReplyDeleteThe skies are so wonderful
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't have any damage and are safe. Beautiful photos. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThose skies were certainly misleading, they look so peaceful. Glad you didn't suffer damage like you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures!
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures, as your sky images always are. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad your area escaped any serious damage from the storm.
ReplyDeletePretty skies! You would never guess that a storm was on the way.
