Ummm...Guys?
Pretty much how it works when one of us sees these things coming. is someone says 'Ummm...guys...maybe we should' and then just fill in the blank, go inside quickly, head home soon, etc. It's really one of the coolest things to see one of these rolling through. When I was in college out in West Texas, one of my favorite things was to drive out to some random, obscure dirt road in the middle of nowhere and watch big thunderstorms roll in. We don't have the big thunderstorms here, but I love watching these things come in...even though it means that everything you own in life will soon be covered in a thick layer of dust (including your teeth!!)
Now I have to admit that I didn't take this picture. One of the girls on my team took it from the roof of her building last month. It's illegal to take pictures here without a photo permit and I just haven't gotten the chance to get a photo permit. I tried my hand at taking discreet ones, like keeping my camera in my purse and pretending that I was looking for something and snapping one real quick, but they all turned out lopsided and sometimes there wasn't even anything in the picture....and I dont know what would happen if I got caught, so I figure that at least for a little while I'll use other people's pictures. Hope ya'll don't mind!
