We have to take an intermission from the intended schedule of pictures to bring you a severe weather report. This storm was spotted last night around 7:30pm. moving at 50 to 55 miles per hour with golf ball size hail, heavy rain and a tornado warning. This was the worst storm we have had in our area all year. ( we have had six storms with hail so far this year.) The below photo is a panorama of the storm made up of three pictures. The first picture was taken facing Southwest, the last picture taken facing North to northwest approximately a 100 degree turn. And as you can see from the picture it did not get in the full spectrum of the storm! One more picture would not have even covered it all. Our farm ground did get some hail damage but those across the state line got the brunt of the storm.
Disclaimer: this panorama is not done by a professional and was done in haste as the storm was fast approaching! We made it home just as the first rain drops were falling down....only to find that one of the kiddos had been messing with the door nob and it was locked!! (this has happened before, you think we would learn:) ) Thankfully the side door was not locked! :) Here are pictures of the back side of the storm.
Not very good pictures but kind of fun. It was completely dark out by now accept for the moon and the flashes of lightning.

WOW! I'd say the photography is amazing. It looks like the kind of storm where I'd sure be glad to get inside...and likely I would have had a panic attack had I gotten home and found the door locked and no key w/ me. Yikeroonies.
awesome power behind those storms!
Those are quite the pictures! Glad you escaped the brunt of it.
Wow!!! How scary! Great pictures of it, though. There was a LOT of power in that storm. Glad you're all safe!
