061809 - Unexpected Thunder.... (Pt 1)

June 18, 2009 - Kearney Nebraska US

It's June, Hot Humid... It's Prime Time Storm Season...

Though we only had a 10% chance of any type of development of storm that afternoon & evening. In fact all of the storms that day were to stay in western Nebraska and move to the north out of range of South Central Nebraska. That obviously was wrong!

I had just finished putting on the 2nd coat of stain on the new deck. Friends had stopped over to check on my progress. I had been so involved on completing the task at hand I didn't notice the lighting to the south of the city.

Let it be said I was unprepared and these 2 storms that rolled though that evening were unexpected. It was the reason I was finishing the staining of the deck. Though I did have everything charged and ready to go just in case. Wrapped up what I could and covered the new patio as best I could which would be a waste of time due to it all blew away!

This is the 1st set of storms for that evening. I grabbed my camera & went out in front of the house. We watched this shelf cloud form just to the west of the city and come right over the top of the house & to the south.

Can I say priceless. The lightning that was illuminating the sky was building & firing off every few seconds. With the reflecting city lights, these really came out with great definition. When the base of the 1st storm came over, the lower cloud base was churnin. Some really cool scud formations under this storm.

Way to much fun!
