SkyWatch Friday.......Catch Up #2 (of 3)

These were taken this past Thursday. All the shades of blue were awesome, even with white.
Always beautiful right before the storm, which we had between 5 and 6 p.m. that night.
I did not take this last photo which shows the tornado that hit in our area Thursday night around 5:30. It did some damage and took out power for many. Luckily there were no major injuries and no one completely lost their home. Go to http://www.skyley.blogspot.com/ for more sky photos! Please be sure to read Apollo's post today, below!

SkyWatch Friday: The 'Ansel Adams' Edition

These photos were taken this week courtesy of 'snap driving', carefully, of course.
This week has been rain, rain and more rain. Today will be - rain, as will tomorrow and Sunday. I'm showing signs of slight mold.........between storms and after them makes for some great photos though.
I can't explain how my phone accidentally was set on black and white.....but I got some great pics before I changed it back and decided to just show black and white today.
One day this week an F2 tornado came through and part of its path was less than 2 miles from us. We were listening to the weather at the time. Some of the area was without power, lucky for us, we were not!
An F2 is a relatively mild tornado, F1 being the mildest. Many trees were uprooted, large limbs down, some windows blown out and a deck blown away. We have been warned for days of trees falling with the oversaturated ground. Needless to day.....everything is super green!!! Weekend forecast: MORE RAIN!
