Wary eye to the sky
Elder Son stopped by yesterday evening, requesting a ride back to his apartment after work. So I finished supper and we headed across town just as some ugly clouds moved in and started to spit rain and lightning.
Coming back, there's this place with a panorama out to the horizon, and some of those clouds were getting lumpy on the bottom. Maine doesn't go in for tornados, as a general rule, but I've lived in Michigan and Illinois and Georgia, prime twister country. Those clouds looked familiar. Wouldn't have taken much more energy to turn _really_ interesting.
Rainbow afterward, sunshine and cooler this morning.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. Like I said, I've seen those clouds before. Didn't like them then, don't like them now. Not nice.
I shut down the electronics, but wouldn't say we had a "lot" of lightning. And we may have had some hail -- some of the stuff on the roof sounded a little louder than simple rain.
