I was doing e-mails when I looked out side and saw this coming right for my house...
All was calm, but as soon as the line got this close the wind gust came and was strong!

We never get anything like taht in the UK, the best we get is black rain-storm clouds (which is quite often actually)

They rolled through here as well (south of Nate), but really wasn't all that bad really, but it sure looked impressive before it started.

Yeah, I left the office early yesterday to stop by one of our remote locations so I could check on a malfunctioning KVM switch. As I got there (St. Charles) I could see that thing rolling in overhead.
Talk about scary looking.....

Nice Pics. I don't get to see many of the storms anymore. Working in a cave sucks.
