Severe Storm Warning
Yesterday when I was out on a farm in Priddis, I managed to capture this photo out the south end of the house. I was pretty happy, and was thinking about lightning all the way through dinner. On my way home, I noticed some dark, dark clouds running in from the north, and I started to see a light show up on Nose Hill Park.
It wasn't long and this PhotoNut was up on the top of Nose Hill (beside a tall pole, for safety) crouched under a tiny wind blown umbrella (more for the camera than for me) and snapping away into the darkness. The best of the best can be found in this flickr photo set.
Tonight, I was planning on doing some yard work, but on my way home, fate ensured that wouldn't happen. I was happy, car dancing to whatever was on the radio, when suddenly there was an annoying beeping on the radio. I just figured that the radio station lost their collective mind and switched stations. The annoying beeping jumped to the other station as well. I mashed through the stations preprogrammed into the radio and every one produced the same annoying sound.
The kid in me immediately thought of an alien invasion, but soon I was alerted to the fact that it was the emergency broadcast system. Apparently there is a severe storm warning in effect with heavy hail, winds and the possibility of a tornado. Doesn't sound like the kind of weather in which I want to toss around top soil.
