I love watching thunderstorms. I took these during a rather intense thunder and lightning storm about a week ago. This is the second storm of the season. I watched the storm unfold from my semi-open back porch.

It was still light out when it occured around 7pm, but it was certainly hard to tell while it was happening.

There were wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour during the storm, a lot of people lost power for a while. A tornado watch was in effect all day and evening. Thankfully tornados are a very rare occurrence in this region and non were spotted.

It took around 20 minutes for the most intense part of the storm to pass. I saw some fantastic lightning, but unfortunately was unable to get any photos. Perhaps the next storm I will get some good lightning pics to share. Here's hoping!! :)

Hi @paradigm42,
I just saw your introduceyourself post with photos of my new buddy!
White feed and a white nose but we are so lookalike :)
What's his name?
Can't wait to read more stories about him with you hiking :)

Hi @dog-marley! His name is Malcolm and he is very friendly and would indeed be your buddy! We go hiking often, he likes exploring and sniffing out critters. I will post about our adventures again soon! :)

She doesnt upvote because she is looking for attention, not interacting. You can go to people's pages and view the comments they leave... if you ever are curious about someones actions on here, it's easy to figure out since everything is public 😉

I kind of figured it was something like that with her lol, hence the sarcastic reply. :) I did know about seeing what type of interactions other accounts are up to, but I appreciate the advice. I am following you now so I look forward to reading more of you posts.

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

It was still light out when it occured around 7pm, but it was certainly hard to tell while it was happening.
It should be occurred instead of occured.
