Place: My House
Camera: Minolta 35mm
Warnings: Severe Thunderstorm Warning
Rating: S3
At 4:30 P.M., our temperature was 99 degrees. At 4:45 P.M., our temperature was 74 degrees. This storm
was part of a slow moving squall-line that developed right on top of us. The storm brought very heavy
rain and some absolutely incredible lightning. One bolt had simultaneous thunder. The storm also brought
some near 50 mph wind gusts. The slow movement of the squall line meant that the storm lasted for over an
hour. Needless to say, it also brought some relief from the heat.
