Springs Thunderstorm
Had a really cool storm come across the city right at sunset tonight, thought I'd share a couple photos.

this looks like the southern view of the cloud I saw this evening from Lakewood, Green Mtn. Is that possible? These are great shots. Made me think of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Like #3 best.

It kind of reminds me of something from the movie Independance Day. Nice job.

Reminds me of the film Independence Day with the alien spacecraft appearing from behind a similarly shaped cloud. Impressive!

So that's what was dumping all that rain on me.

Simply amazing photos Scott!

I think this is the storm that dropped the golf ball hail on my house last night. We've never gotten hail larger than pea sized before. :eek:

#1 and #3 are both sweet Scott.
