10-09-09 Strong winds

Early AM line of strong storms with a history of 70-80 mph winds was approaching the area.. unfortunatly these storms died off as soon as they got into visible range... (typical) we did get some good 45-50 and maybe a 60 mph gust as the leading edge passed by. it did have some lightning but again this was dying off fast and in the heavy rainfall it was impossible to get any kind of shots.

What we did get was a few pics of a deteriorating shelf cloud as it came closer.

Fist view of the shelf off in the distance.


Shelf cloud more visible in the lights...
