The exposure suits me, Ken, and the atmosphere is well captured, especially in
the bottom shot.
It's interesting to see that cloud formation and I think it means serious
instability. I've mentioned before that I saw mammatus clouds for the first
time in Florida during a summer storm at MacDill AFB, Tampa. I stood inside
the threshold of the squadron building looking out towards the bay and watching
the cloud bulging down, as it were, from the cloudbase before spiking towards
the sea and meeting a matching waterspout. It was a very exciting introduction
to summer in Florida!
My wife drove past upturned cars on Dale Mabry later that afternoon; of course
she shouldn't have been out in that weather, but we were newbies ...
