Clouds on A Stormy Fall Day 2010.

This morning I awoke to weather alerts announcing the potential for tornadoes. A Tornado Watch had been issued. Which means, the weather is just right to produce tornadoes. And, according to the weather map, the alert was for all across the midwest.
Granted, this is much better than a Tornado Warning. Which means one has been sighted in your area and you had better duck and cover (I don't have a basement). But, for me, the "Watch" means WATCH! The high winds of 70 mph had already toppled, in some areas, trees and old structures. When I announced the alerts to the Chief, he was his normal blase self.
I was going to be alone while he did some errands. I decided (ah, we do have choices) to look at the wonderful storm clouds rather than worry about the tornadoes. It was a good choice. By the time I finished taking the pictures below, the alert was over.
I love these photographs. And, I am constantly amazed at the photos on my blog because they are ALL taken through my windows.
Neat, huh?
