I stepped outside to take the patio umbrella down (I learned the hard way that strong winds can bend or snap their poles) and took some shots of the roiling clouds.
Looking to the north from our patio.
Pointing the camera straight up over our home and patio.
Despite the lowering clouds, we only had some brief strong winds, some rain, and a little lightning and thunder. It wasn't much, as severe storms go.
Which is probably a very good thing!
