Its March 11 and we had the earliest thunder and lightning since we have been here. Every thing here is magnified apparently by the vast vistas that we are treated to. The Sunrises are magnificent, the sun sets, no less brilliant. Thunder and lightning are generally reserved for the late summer.
I noticed this storm building, and began snapping pictures. I took this leading edge of the storm and came back in the house to see if the image did the real thing even a slight representation of what my eyes could see. Of course the comparison not as dramatic. I am not good enough to make that so, but what I had was not all that bad.
This is Idaho, where the storm is going. It will be pretty interesting by the time it arrives in Boise. There of course a wind front along with it. It began to develop even further, so I grab my card out of the computer and decide to watch it until it unfolds completely.
After it enveloped us, the thunder and lightning began to flash. The storm only lasted about 15 minutes. It dropped 4 tenths of an inch in that time.
