Storm blogging, Vol. 1, #2


I ended up seeing much more of the storm than I had anticipated. I had watched the storms on radar since about noon, as they had pummeled my old stomping grounds, the Chippewa Valley in Western Wisconsin, with strong winds and half dollar sized hail. When I went out to take a few pics, I figured I would get no closer to the storms than 5 or 10 miles. The storms had other ideas. I took this picture looking northwest. I understood what I was seeing, but I thought it was going to slide north of my location. Instead, those clouds were over me within 10 minutes. All in all, the storms were strong but not devestating here. Just some downed branches and power outages.
