The "messed-up" jet stream has brought us thunderstorms these past couple of days. Wouldn't normally see clouds here until the Autumn cold fronts roll in at the end of September.

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

Here's one from a few years back but still my favourite. I was watching this storm cloud from the car all the way home from work and it rewarded me once I got home and got my camera.

..A few taken while at work yesterday. Checking the forecast right after I got up, I think the NOAA had the best weather description I think i've ever heard... "Juicy" I think this settles the "unbearable monsoonal.." thread started over the weekend. Enjoy.
