This was taken just prior to a small thunderstorm hitting me in Minnesota Monday evening. We ended up with a heavy downpour with small hail and heavy winds. it lasted maybe 515 minutes was all. the hail was smaller than peas and the winds were around 40 MPH. No damage but just some shots of great pre-storm clouds here to share. Did you have any storms rumble through your area Monday? Do you take photos of clouds at all?

I love taking photos of the clouds as much as taking ones of my flowers. Well not that much but still love the clouds. In this photo the hanging area is the remnants of a tornado that hit a couple miles away. It was a funnel cloud at this time bouncing in and out of the clouds.

Awhile back I went out in a tornado trying to get photos. I got to the area just seconds after the tornado left. I did get a shot of the tornado as it went back up into the clouds. Check my older discussions for that one. I love storms to a point as they can give me some great photo opportunities that i love.

How long did the storm last? 515 minutes, 15 minutes, or 51 minutes?
I am not sure we had some thunder clouds yesterday but no thunder or rain. Here in California they are still putting out the 100's of wild fires that started from our last thunder storms that passed through. We have lots of smoke in the air. We are about 35 miles from one fire. You can smell the smoke in the air like a fresh fire. Some days it is so bad your eyes burn from it.
Now we are having another heat wave it is currently 106 with humidity of 19%. Now I know your humidity is higher but we are not use to any humidity so it feels humid out there to me.
I got hot in swimming pool today. I had to come in out of the sun to cool off.
I will comment and rate your photo once I post this discussion.

Sure did! I thought we were the only ones
who got bad weather earlier in the week.
The bad weather made me feel so glum and blue
I did not feel like posting on MyLot or doing
anything but watching TV.
Nice picture. I have never thought to take
a picture of the clouds.
How lovely!

We did not have a storm on Monday but we had one yesterday. Well I say storm it was more like a couple of rumbles of thunder really but as I dont like thunder it was enough to call a storm for me! I do not take pictures of the clouds as it happens but I have been trying to get back into taking photos and so it gives me an idea of what I can try.

This didn't last long thankfully. Just a few minutes of heavy wind and rain. The hail was tiny and did no damage as well. But I still love a good storm as long as it does no damage or just minor with no injuries.

awhile back i started really enjoying clouds but i didn't want to tell anyone cause i thot they'd think i was crazy. then i started taking pictures w my camera phone. and i really liked them. i also discovered there's a site for a club you can join for people that love clouds. that made me feel better. and now i've found you.
the shapes are so intriguing at times. they are beautiful and fascinating.

Oh I am a storm lover and chaser. I get photos of clouds a lot each day. An ever changing pallette so to say.

I took this picture a couple evenings ago just as the sun was setting and I thought it looked so beautiful I had to share it with you when I saw this discussion. I rarely take any pictures but when I saw this the other evening I had to go into the house and get my daughter's camera and take a picture of it so she could see it too, when she got home. It looks like a ball of fire and that is exactly what I thought of when I first saw it. It never stormed that night either, as I thought it would. Those are not rain clouds, but fluffy white clouds with the sunset peaking through. I saw this right outside my house, sitting on my deck having a smoke, I looked up and saw this. And I live right in the middle of Calgary.

I should start, I should have taken some pics of the clouds this evening for my kids in Arizona, they rarely see such beauty.
We had a wonderful storm, lots of thunder and lightening. Gus hated it, sat on my lap and shook till it was done. All the trees and flowers are very happy right now!

It was a very short lived storm. Some areas got a couple inches from it. I got maybe half an inch only.

We did not have a storm on monday , but the sky did get very dark . My fiance who works in another part of town got hit with a storm . He said it was a very hard down pour with cold rain , and it soaked him . He is a mailman so he has to work in all types of weather . I guess it missed over here , because even my parents got hit . It funny that just 20 mins away all that could be going on .
