The impending storm

I love extreme changes in weather, especially summer thunder storms. The weather can be all sunny and happy and then in a flash the wind is whipping your face, the temperature drops and the sky is flooded with dark fast moving clouds. The rain starts to come down in sheets and all one can do is stare at the wonder of it all. It is exhilarating just to stand in a clearing and wait for the storm to start around you....The other afternoon was one such day, the wind actually got so bad we had a dead tree crack in the back yard.
