Pretty. I think the clouds help the scene, and show the daylight changes well

around 8 pm yesterday. Nice view of thunderclouds.







Loud thunder, storm stayed 10-15 miles to the south of me. No lightning nor rain. Then I drove south (I-91) into the storm:



rainbow was bright on both sides. Great light shining on Holyoke. hard to see in the downpour, and then two lanes of three were closed.



Blue just on the horizon:



Mammatus. Phone said it was in New Windsor, CT

^^ Was the wind bad while you were driving? I think you missed the worst of it anyhow.

A couple years back, when I was driving through Ohio on the way to Michigan, I got slammed by a nasty storm, and it was a real struggle to keep that car on the road. I thought for sure I'd get blown right off...lol. I have no idea of the wind speed, but the trees were bowing over pretty bad. Then the rain come down so hard I had to pretty much stop, since I couldn't see. A few minutes after that, I saw a bolt hit the ground about 50 feet away. It was pretty loud - and bright...lol.
