Our First Storm...

Once upon a time there were a couple of crazy kids that had an obsession with lightning and well, I guess, just storms in general.  We live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and it was a Spring month, October 2013.  It had been a hot, humid day, one that had temperatures well above average.  Deep down on the horizon, it was obvious that clouds were building.  Not just any clouds.  These clouds were showing signs of developing into what could have been the thunderstorm of the month! 

As you could imagine, our anticipation grew stronger and stronger as the afternoon hours passed whilst we watched an evolution of white puffy clouds become large, dark and angry.

The following images depict what transpired:

Unfortunately, it was not to be the 'storm of storms' but it did provide us with some entertainment for an hour or so.  

Until next time, get yourself #thunderstruck.
