Thanks! It's great being able to see so many photos from different places minutes after the storm passes... aah, technology.
I think I'm beginning to understand the thrill of storm chasing
A few more pics:
* Blue skies and beautiful fluffy clouds ahead of the storm front.
* Swirling cauldron of the storm just about to hit.
* Inside the storm - the sky is green (hail?) and the lightning strikes closer.
and a time lapse of the storm hitting:

The time lapse represents only 5 minutes of time passing - a fast moving storm!
