Re: pic: Not the end of the Rainbow, but ....
Severe thunderstorms can be dangerous, frightening, exhilarating - and they can encourage a healthy respect for Nature quickly.
Here in Texas we get blue northers - the sky will turn a funny blue and the winds will change. Usually in the fall but it can happen any time. Usually there is a severe drop in temperature, sometimes storms.
I've lived in the same house for 20 years and lightning strikes all around us. We have huge sycamores in our neighborhood - towering trees. Lightning took the top out of our neighbor's tree a few years back and laid it across our roof and across the length of the lawn with 20 feet of the tree base still standing.
