Nice to see another lightning-photographer, Martin!

Even though some of these pictures are from last summer, I wasn't a member here then so I thought I would show them...
Here are some lightnings shots, and Sundog shots I have...and some Mammatus Clouds.
You can see a bunch more of my weather shots at my flickr account:

Saw some awesome towering cumulus clouds tonight. The lighting from the sun was just so nice I had to pull over at the lake and snap some pictures. B)

So, where's the tornado? :P  It just shows there's still a large false alarm rate when it comes to tornado warnings as most won't see anything.

A cluster of heavy rain went through my area, causing some minor flooding in both the back and front yards. Can't wait to show some of my pics to my local CBS affiliate.

Who needs Peter Lik?  These photos are absolutely amazing!  Great job, everyone.

I (finally) got a digital camera for Christmas, so if anything exciting happens weather-wise, I hope to snap some good photos.

I am a huge fan of the lightning and storm pics!  Great job!

Here are some pictures of the Dallas white-out conditions Friday, February 4. What you're looking at is four inches of snow from Friday over about an inch of ice from Tuesday.

On Saturday, we had a HUGE storm that pass through the San Diego area. It brought like.. an inch or so of rain. But it's not just the rain that came, it was also HAIL! ^_^ At around 10 my time (I think), pea-sized hail fell for 5 minutes, and I was lucky enough to take a quick pic from my phone. Though it is a bit hard to see, but look closer, and you'll see the hail on my sister's balcony. I'm so psyched that I've seen hail, the last time I've seen hail in person was kindergarten!

Taken not too long ago from a very slow moving thunderstorm. It caused some flash flooding in our backyard making it look like a swamp. Excuse the crappy picture quality.

The calm before the storm...

This is what the sky looked like 30 minutes prior to severe thunderstorms ravaging Norman last night. If I had turned the camera 90 degrees to the left, you would have seen some serious, dark, threatening clouds.

This one is from March 15, 2012 when I saw 1.5" diameter hail.

This is kind of a blurry picture, but you can definitely notice that in comparison to a quarter, the hailstones are a bit larger.

I took these three photos while out in Tampa earlier this evening. All three were taken along Bayshore Boulevard, right at the mouth of Hillsborough Bay. The first one is a rainbow overlooking Hillsborough Bay, the second one is a nice cumulonimbus cloud I saw towering to the east, also overlooking Hillsborough Bay, and the last one is a view of Downtown Tampa's skyline from Bayshore Boulevard at sunset.

Nice sea breeze thunderstorm that built up, perfect day for one, temps in the 80's and 90's, dew points in the upper 70's and around 80.

EDIT: You also notice how the camera lens fogged up a bit, goes to show how humid it was outside!

Took these photos about 15-20 minutes ago as a thunderstorm is (slowly) moving in the area.

March 1, 2009: I loved this snowstorm, the only one where I've seen thundersnow. :happy: I don't know who in my family took the bad photo though.  :P The shot was taken right from the front side of my house. It must have been taken from inside, that would explain why it's so bright (and part of our awning is visible) at the top.

Post by: TWCmatthew on March 21, 2013, 10:27:32 PM
I took this picture on March 15, 2012. Relatively slow-moving, but severe thunderstorms developed that afternoon/evening, producing very large hail, localized flash flooding, and a few tornadoes, including an EF-0 in Ida, MI, which is barely 5 miles to my west, an EF-2 in Columbiaville, MI, and an EF-3 in Dexter, MI (just northwest of Ann Arbor.) Some of the hailstones I measured were up to ping pong ball size, or 1.5" in diameter!

You were actually able to see the rain drops falling through the rainbow. It was so vivid. Also there were several rainbows below the main one, and it's was like a ripple effect.

There were some pretty nasty thunderstorms that rolled through parts of eastern Washington, including where I was in the Grand Coulee area. I drove around the area and there were a lot downed trees. Here is a photo that I took of a downed tree and the damage it caused to a house in the town of Coulee Dam.
