Stormy Big Skies
-
We drove over to Bozeman to pick my daughter up at the airport yesterday. This is a picture I took on the way back to Butte. We’ve been having some pretty big storms in the afternoons/evenings lately and there was a severe thunderstorm and flash flood warning yesterday. Daughter said there was pretty scary turbulence on landing. Torrential rain and wind and tons of lightning on the drive back home, I-90 that is normally 80+ mph was down to 35mph with flashers going - we just tucked in behind a semi on the way down the Cardwell Hill and crossed our fingers. That road with two passes and a ton of semi traffic can be dangerous even in good weather. So much water that we hydroplaned at one point from one lane to the other - I thought we were just doing a lane change because Steve handled it without panicking, and only told me after how freaked out he was. Wish I could have gotten a picture of the lightning, it was spectacular. Hopefully with all the rain, it didn’t start any fires.

Impressive!

I was was watching lighting exploding over the Divide tonight from my back yard. Huge black hammerhead clouds shooting out bolts in the distance. For once I just enjoyed watching without taking photos. Jodi there will definitely be fires from all these electrical storms we've been having. So much more rain than usual for this time of year! But not enough to prevent the fires.
