Lucky Tonight!

There are many ways to "Get Lucky" and Grandpa Bob you definately "Got Lucky". I'm aware there are some pretty huge hail stones but fortunately I have never seen any as big as three inch stones, that is big. I sure hope after all the time and pride you put into your yard/flowers that nothing like this distroys all your work. Take Care!!!

That has been happening to my area for the past 2 weeks, you hear about the thunderstorms on the news, how bad it is getting and then all the thunder and lightening comes but no rain, it is like preparing for the hurricane that never shows, a blessing it was, just a sprinkle to water that huge garden you are growing, how wonderful!

Those are the kind of clouds that make people wanna run or hide under the bed! Very cool pic GB. You definitely have a good eye.

Hi Grandpa Bob, Wow, what an awesome photo. I'm glad that you, your family, and your beautiful gardens are all safe. Too bad it's still humid. We've already had some major storms this year, and tornado threats too ... always scary. The last storms we had (a couple of days ago), broke the heat here. Things are more comfortable at the moment.:)

I am glad you missed the storm that means your yard is fine. I am glad you did not flood. I hope everything is fine there. Here in CA we have cooled down to 90 degrees today I am trying not to use the air conditionier until it gets above 100 degrees I hate paying the PG&E.

good thing it missed, i hope the part that it didnt miss, is still ok.

Yes your very lucky Grandpa Bob. A couple of nights ago we had bad thunder and lighting storms here. Im really afraid of them. So I took my cat and we went upstairs to my room and went under the blankets.Hahahaha I kid you not.

Yeah we got the storms they were awesome. The hail missed us thankfully but it was dark windy and cool.

We get very excited when there is a heavy thunderstorm. I think this stems from my childhood. Where I come from there is very little rain, & even less in the way of storms. When we did have storms, it could be dramatic. The lightening was the most fascinating. I love to watch hail, but not when I am driving. Our dogs do not feel the same way as I do about storms!

Wow...3 inch hail. We haven't had anything like that in decades here. We seldom get any hail and even thunderstorms are becoming less frequent. Thunderstorms are interesting creatures.

Man what is it with the storms? I’m in NY and we had a heck of a storm on Tuesday- hail, winds, rain, thunder, and lightning- Even caused a couple of deaths locally- Flooded several areas- Not used to this kind of weather- and I don’t much like it! Does make some nice pictures though!

You're lucky that all of that nastiness missed you. That photo is so awesome. You caught the clouds just right. Beautiful!

I love this kind of a weather. Just love thunder storms and rain I would love being there But i here right now You would not believe how hot it is here now even with the air condition on:(

in singapore and malaysia, some folks have not been so lucky. Well, recently there were at least three separate incidents of people being killed by fallen tree branches. One happened in a nature reserve, another in a forested reservoir, and another in a national park. There was a storm, lightning, strong wind and the works. Turned out a freak broken branch hit them and they were immediately killed. Very tragic.

My wife and I both enjoy storms. Especially after really hot days when it calms things down and takes away that sticky feeling. (we had a couple of storms last week here) Kudos, Thanks for sharing. ~Joey

We got that same storm two nights ago. We were also suppose to get hail but ended up just getting a fast downpour of rain which lasted for about 5 minutes. I had my camera ready to take some pictures of the hail if we did get it but thankfully we didn't.
