It is the day after a bout of thunderstorms. The air has cleared out for the most part, which in New York City, doesn’t happen very much. Weather is often a forgotten element here, but we have our share of weather history. Hurricanes, blizzards, and even hail and tornadoes have happened here. Some of these have shaped me as the weatherbuff I am today.
The occasional dark cloud inspires wonder. I was out on the avenue in my neighborhood and some people were taking notice of the dark, fast moving clouds in the afternoon. Bolts of lighting struck in the distance and with a little twist of the imagination, it wasn’t hard to conjure the formation of a funnel cloud, but that didn’t happen. A while after what was the main event, which the pictures on this blog entry show, it poured heavily. The force was almost movie-set like and it seems machines were pumping the rain down. Those kinds of downpours are fun, but it was soon over. Now, we just wait for the next chance to marvel at mother nature.
