The anti-climactic ministorm of 2011

The day before we planned on leaving there was a dark mass in the distance looming over the mountains but far enough away that we didn’t worry  about.  We went on with our day and about 4 o’clock or so we got back home and notice that the winds were picking up, picking up enough that the trailer flipped on edge … only kidding


So it was the strangest mini-storm I ever seen, as the dark cloud moved over the property the other half of the property was bright and sunny with only the high winds being an indication that something was about to happen.


As the cloud picked up speed there were all these little spinning clouds within the big clouds which made me think – TORNADO.


So I grabbed my camera, started clicking away as Judith brought the kids in the trailer, the shaking rattling trailer and it rained for 20 minutes and moved on.


But it was pretty fascinating how quick it formed and how quick it disappeared.
