Sundown between the storms... by marlboromaam

Sundown between the storms...

This was taken Monday evening between one storm system moving out and another one moving in. I couldn't believe the orange and peach colors! I got about 5 drops of rain out of these systems and about 10 drops out of yesterday's storms. Maybe will get a few more drops today instead of just thunder and lightning! The best rain dance I know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXCzrbAKR9Y
Wow, brilliant capture, Maggie. It's amazing the little rain you've been getting to go along with the stormy skies. We've been getting a little rain late in the day, but sometimes our skies get really dark and nothing happens. CRAZY weather these last few yrs.

Beautiful colours! faved.
July 11th, 2012  
Amazing colour! You have some weather there! Hope you get some rain soon!
July 11th, 2012  
I have heard it said that when the sky gets this color there is severe storms approaching. Not sure if it's an old wives tale or if there is anything to it. Great capture of the colors though Maggie!
July 11th, 2012  
wow
July 11th, 2012  
Gorgeous! very very pretty! We got LOTS of drops. We must have gotten YOUR drops too!
July 11th, 2012  
So pretty, yet eerie! We're doing rain dances over here, too. :)

@cimes1 I can smell the rain and I can smell the ozone from all the lightning but, little rain hits the ground here. Although about 15 miles away, it floods! Course, this is typical for South Carolina in the summertime with exception to the extreme triple digit temps! Thank you for your comments, as always!

@aslessknownsu Thank you for your comment and fav, Susan! Most appreciated!

@sassik Thank you, Sassik! Appreciate your comments very much!

@skipt07 I think it's probably true, Skip! We've been getting hammered with the air to ground lightning strikes here! I can walk outside and smell the ozone from the lightning in the air! Thank you for your comments!

@helenw2 Thank you, Helen!

@espyetta LOL! You may have, MaryBeth! Thank you for your lovely comments!
