Scary Storm!
5 Comments

I was driving home from the pool at 5:00 and on Blairs Ferry there was a huge wall-like cloud. I went by a sand pile and there was sand and clouds spinning like a tornado. At first I thought it was one because it was so windy right there but I soon realized it was just the sand blowing. A little further there was another massive cloud that looked like a tornado could be hiding in it. It was sunny under the cloud and extremely dark above it as the pictures show. It's stormy right now and I can't tell if it's wind or thunder that I hear. I guess I got home just in time!
