This went over my house (shot from my backyard deck) and yes, the sky was that weird/scary color. Then the rain came down like a wall of water overflowing the gutters. And lightning cracked and popped a little too close for comfort. Now its sunny and the sidewalks are almost dry. Crazy Colorado weather, but I love it!

Wait another half an hour. It will look like this all over again. :wink:

That is AWESOME! I love stuff like this. We're gettin' it now, hoping to get some lightning shots tonight.

Looks like the storm that hit my neck of the woods (SW metro area). If so, the lightening was unreal and the downpour was drenching!

That is one ominous cloud! Looks like another beautiful sunset is materializing over Denver tonight - one benefit of all those storm clouds.

Incredible. I hope you got a shot of just this cloud! This shot is still great.

We've had some great electrical storms come right over us the last few days. Really ominous stuff. I was getting excited to take some lightning shots and then the rain opens up and drives me inside. This is a cool cloud!
