Howdy Dew from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Well, I have had a terrific time watching the towers go up to my northwest during this afternoon's ceremonies. I was, however, amused (frustrated would be a better word) when I got a text from Storm Chasing Mikey (please see link in the sidebar list...) saying that things were getting active in my neck of the woods... since he hadn't seen my blog, he didn't realize the classic Dewv@#d set-up he had just shared... 1" hail... wind damage reports right near my house...
10 N VALDOSTA LOWNDES GA PEA SIZE HAIL WITH ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT BLOWN DOWN. 5 REPORTS OF TREES DOWN WITH ONE TREE ON HOUSE. IN VICINITY OF SKIPPER BRIDGE ROAD. (TAE)I wish I were kidding, but of course I am not, see for yourself by clicking here. Insanity. I am, of course, still just barely outside of the slight risk...

Bf was very sweet to offer me the window seat on both legs of the flight, and I, of course, too full advantage of that as we zigzagged through some powerful thunderstorm towers... very cool. At one point, just outside of Memphis, I had the rare opportunity to see a fire-induced convective tower. Of course, I got pics, and then, we arrived at Lake Michigan just as the sun was setting. How amazing! I could never grasp the size of the Great Lakes until I saw them. Enormous. Anyways, without further a-dew...









Anyhow, it's time for us to find some place cool to eat.
Have a lovely night.

Beautiful shots Dewdrop! I love those perspectives from above. Heavenly...
ReplyDeleteYes it is!
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, I have more from the trip back, where we flew through some great thunderstorms... cloud tops over 30,000ft. Awesome... Incredible towers. I love window seats.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Babooshka.
Cool airplane shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I really was excited about the fire tower. Very cool, and to see the source and everything... COOL!
