Taken near our camp site up north on a foggy morning.

Did you know that when you have double rainbows, the color order in the second one is reversed? See for yourself.

Here are the photos of the storm leaving the region, moving into Wisconsin. The sky directly overhead was clear and starry, and the storm was far enough away you couldn’t even hear any thunder. Sometimes there was some much lightning portions of the thunderhead looked like giant lightbulbs.
On the way back from a family reunion in Wisconsin, I spotted this funnel cloud on Highway 64 just a few miles shy of Stillwater. Pulled over and started taking pictures. Just fascinating to watch its evolution, in total silence. The main cloud above extended far to the left, with this ’scorpion’s tail’ dragging behind it. Typical arrangement for tornadoes. Eventually the funnel harmlessly dissolved back into the mother cloud.
Coming back into the Twin Cities, all hell broke loose as there were several tornadoes in the area. Got caught in an incredible pull to the side of the road downpour. Truck sure was nice and clean afterward. Night time photos with lightning of the cell that produced the tornadoes I took once I got back into town will be up next week.

Rarely have I seen such a dense rain pattern on a lake, not to mention a fisherman on shore next to it. There was a fair amount of lightning in the area too. Guess we all take our chances, including the photographer.

Coming in for the landing, the pilot did a slalom avoiding the thunderheads extending above the cloud deck. Eventually though you do have to go trough some of them.

Couple of days ago this cloud descended over the Cirque du Soleil, currently performing in St. Paul. Not much happened in the immediate area, but unfortunately a young girl was killed by lightning from this storm about 30 miles east of this spot.
