Rainstorms and Sunsets

About a week ago, a big storm hit Omaha, knocking our power out for 2 hours. The humidity was so bad that our house got up to 85 degrees and of course it was Graham's bed time, so we had to fan him off to get him to cool down enough to sleep. The lighting didn't stop flashing. Literally, there wasn't a pause in the strikes for a solid half an hour. They would strike and then each branch of the lighting would fizzle out to create more branches. It was amazing to watch that and the rain pouring so hard, the streets were flooding. When the rain passed, the lighting continued and the sky turned an eery green color, combined with the most beautiful sunset and cloud formations I have ever seen.


you can see the storm passing off to the right of the picture. It was a dark rolling cloud, completely hiding downtown Omaha that you can usually see from our house.
