Well, radar says it should be raining in Elgin now....guess I wont go get ice cream. My car is still too clean to fuck with rain.

The sky looks quite angry. I like that the flag is standing almost straight out, indicating how windy it was.

100% chance that the loan yellow cell coming at us goes right over our house and I had my hood on the G8 open.

I had the back of the truck uncovered and it's filled with fresh cut wood. I looked at the radar like 30 minutes ago and thought, "I should probably throw the tarp back over it."

Wise choice. The sky opened up for about 2 minutes.

Well, I picked a good time to grill chicken.

I took some 4K video of it with a fast lens. Too dark for slow motion.

Was outside with an umbrella when a lightning strike hit close by. About 1/4 second between flash and CRACK!

Felt that was an appropriate indication to come inside.

I'm waiting patiently for that stuff to get to me in South Aurora.

Sky was angry today, but sure looked neat after.

 

[Spivitz]

Oh shit

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Took some shots while it was raining, and then after. The "during" was a first for me, so took some practice. Rain lightened up before I could get the shot I wanted.

Nothing done in post (i.e. effects), this is all in camera.

Also,

Mad props to Mook for coming up with a way for us to upload and automatically link to full resolution images!
