Storms Are Brewing

We have been getting quite a number of lightning and thunder storms lately.
Today was supposed to be basically storm free but it didn't turn out that way. We stated getting a few pop up storms starting around 9:30-10:00AM. The storms would drop some rain and move on, followed by some clearing  and  blue skies.
This afternoon I could hear that familiar rumbling of thunder again. I looked outside and it was starting to get rather dark out. The lightning and thunder lasted for about 340-45 minutes. It rained again and followed the same pattern as earlier.
Here are some photos of this building and then passing storm:

Happy Birthday My Love

Today is your Birthday! I hope that you have a fantastic love filled birthday today.
Tonight we plan on having a candle lit dinner.
Last night I gave Veronica a special hand made piece of art for her birthday.
Here is what I made for her:

Waterspout Sighted From the Outer Banks Beachfront

I got a telephone call this morning from Veronica who was at work.
She wanted to know if I had heard anything about a tornado warning in the Nags Head area.
Veronica told me that a couple of her Associates had a weather app on their cell phones and that their phones were sounding off a weather warning alert.
As it turns out, there was at least one waterspout that touched down in the water.
Here is a link to Wavy.com that reported the bad weather and the waterspout that was in the area.......
