It's not fun when a summer storm comes through and knocks out hte power for several days but there's a distinct up side. Cool clouds.
A day or so after the big storm came through and knocked out power all over the east, there was another storm that came through our area. If formed around us and completely passed us by. That gave us the opportunity watch the clouds go by. It was amazing and here are some of the photos. All of these were taken on the same day withing 30 minutes.
Vicki those are fantastic clouds and superb photos. For a minute there, I thought they'd been taken at altitude, as in from an airplane.

Scary and grand, all at the same time. I'm pretty sure I saw Massachusetts in that one cloud! Hope all is normal... soon, for everyone in the east.

Definitely amazing! I can see inspiration for gradients in some of them.

I bet that was the same storm that missed us but a lot of people took photos and sent them to the news station in Chicago. They are fantastic and I'm glad you were looking up at the right time to catch them.

Some of those would make you glad they passed you by. Supposed to be a biggie tonight. The atmosphere is really heating up for it, too! Stay safe!

I love clouds, even the "angry" ones. We finally cooled down a bit and it's very much appreciated.
