Storm rolling in

I got a panorama picture of tonight's storm. We were out for ice-cream just before it hit.

I stood outside the Sobeys and watched the heavy clouds cross the sky in just about five minutes, and then we had a few minutes before the heavy rain and lightning started!

That was an amazingly quick change. I was driving home from further west. The sky to my left was one black mass, and to my right it was quite washed-out blue. When I walked into my apartment building it seemed well past dusk, but still quite light on my balcony on the far side. Then the darkness flew across the sky.

Over here the wind couldn't decide which way to blow. For a while it kept switching back and forth and pushing the rain off to a 45 degree angle. The lightning was impressive, especially the cloud to cloud strikes.
