This storm passed just to the north of me. Got some pictures that I will be downloading briefly from my camera and posting. Sadly there aren't very many, the storm chased me back inside when we clipped the southern edge (heavy rain and winds of maybe ~20 or 25 mph).

Ugh...I forgot my camera was set to take pictures of close up things, and idiot me didnt change the settings, so the photos are blurry...

The rain is off to the left of the "lowering" cloud (will see in a second)


This shows the rain shield as it pulled away to our North.


The rain is clearly off to the left of the cloud...the cloud sloping down towards the rain.
