It was so hot outside that when I took my camera from the house to the field to take photos of the storm the lens had fogged up.
The storm was fast moving though so I took photos anyway. There was some pretty incredible thunder and quite the lightning show.
After we had let Wai out, and brought the calf in and come back inside we discovered that there was a tornado warning in our area.
In fact while we were out chasing storm photos the tornado had been sighted and maybe even touched down near by.
That’s what happens when you watch the world through a foggy lens! A tornado passes by and you miss it.
Another terrible storm last night as we did not sleep. And raining again now.
I hope you have a lovely day
Love celi

J > The fogging of the camera is due to sudden temperature/pressure/humidity changes as the storm advances – not heat, as such. In fact, pressure/humidity is the most likely cause. It can do a lot of damage to an electronic camera.
Yes – interesting about the pressure. Cold to himud hot makes my glasses fog up as well. not that? I have a rubber cover on my camera (we call it the camera condom) this protects it to an extent but all in all this environment is tough on equipment.. c
I was lucky enough to see a tornado over the sea in Majorca, Spain as a child, however I have always dreamed of seeing a monster tornado that often develop in the USA. They have always fascinated me and a tricky task as I currently live in the UK!
Wow! What a great storm! I love storms like these !
So do I – I never get past the awe!
Its so cold
Life up close…
& Monsters in the distance.
gee whiz- stay safe!
Glad you’re safe. We also had a stressful evening of strong winds, and Tornado warning and watches.
So far we have never had a tornado through here – hopefully NEVER. Glad you are all safe as well – the weather can be fickle.
Storm season is stressful. Years ago, my hometown was hit by a tornado . It didn’t hit our house, but it took out hundreds.
