Thunderstorms

We have had a TON of storms the last few days. Not to make excuses for my lack of updates, but it's meant a lot of internet outages. Monday and Tuesday pretty much both looked like this:


The only reason there's any light at all in that picture is because there was so much lightening. Since Tuesday was basically a repeat of Monday, I didn't take a picture. Instead, I drew a happy flamingo enjoying the sunshine wherever it is that flamingoes live. Because another storm picture would be depressing.


Yay flamingo!

Tornado warning

This evening, we had a tornado warning. Shortly before, I snapped this picture when I noticed the sky was getting dark and funky


I was going to go outside to get a better one, but that's when the tornado warning went into effect, and the sirens went off and we were all shuffled into the dorm basement. Once the warning was over, I ran over to the bus shelter across from my dorm (it was raining) and got some after pictures, because the difference looking either way was incredible. When I looked to the right I saw this:



But to the left it looked like it was clearing up...


I guess the storm was moving rather quickly. After, it continued to rain for awhile, but the sky was wicked blue, so I took one last picture from the Student Union:


Apologies for the reflection- I didn't want my camera to get wet taking a picture outside.
