this storm greeted me as I came out of the grocery store, chased me home and got to my driveway the same time I did.

Thanks Kathy, Peg, ftogrf, Carol, Wanda & Liz! No I didn't get too wet. As I left the grocery store and traveled south I watched it in my rear view as it came from the north. It reminded me of a giant tidal wave all white & frothy against a dk blue background. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: July 10, 2010 Comments: 15787
