Rebecca – It was early evening around 8pm. At 720pm (mid June 2012) I noticed a few cumulus clouds out over the sea that looked interesting. Twenty minutes later while getting a meal ready these clouds had shot upwards and sideways and were now looking very promising and threatening. By a little after 8pm a large tornado and three waterspouts had formed. This photo at 921pm was indicative of a very large storm that actually lasted close to 3hours and triggered my camera from memory over 1100 times as it meander around. It was the result of a cold front sliding through Florida and down across The Bahamas. I was told about it by email from someone I knew in Delray Beach who thought I was anywhere else except ‘down the road’ in The Bahamas. Lightning started from the sky downwards and finished the other way round what from my experience is a classic storm pattern rather than just an evening energy balancing storm. Some of the latter form in a very short time and are over in 20mins. John yes there are many faces in the clouds in that area.
Great shot mike and you have a face in the photo just above the left hand lightning , I expect you have seen that ?
Regards
John .
Very dramatic afternoon storm picture, Mike. Well done! The calm before the storm. However, better find shelter soon before it really happens! From Rebecca Hill
