This photo is one of the only photos that shows lightning caused by the static from a volcanic eruption... just one more hazard if you happen to be in its way.

Next up we have the result of a landslide... I have seen one little landslide when I lived in Cornwall and it was scary enough... I would hate to be in a bigger one

A thunderstorm viewed from afar

Well that is all the photos I have to put up at the moment. I hope that they are of interest. Not sure what next weeks topic will be so suggest if you like. Also, please remember that it is easy for those of us in relatively safe parts of the world to see this and "ohh" and "ahh" but there are people who have weather like this as a daily reality. When bad weather comes your way please do what you can to help other people, wildlife and pets to be safe, to survive and to come out the other side smiling.

Mikex

Truly fascinating. Yes, they are interesting and beautiful. You're right, some of these photographers want a picture more than their life! It's an unpredictable and amazing world we live in.

Praying for our LWF family that live near Oklahoma City.

Ok, the Guatamala flooding photo with the two people standing on the road...with an UMBRELLA? Really? It might not do much good!

Beautiful to look at through photos yet so deadly and destructive! A lot of us can count our blessings we are geographically located in areas that experience these natural disasters! Although it cannot always be predicted when these take place the best we can do is reach out help the poor victims in whatever way we can. I loved some of your comments Mike...made me giggle! Thanks for sharing and I'll try to think of something for your next theme! Hope your day is going well and relatively pain free! Sue

Hi Mike!

Wow! A reminder of what is always happening around us. For now the house-shaking storms are over, the weather has finally warmed a bit, with evidence of damage from a hard freeze the other night. I finally got out and walked today, my best defense against my weakening bones.

Hope you are having a good day! Thanks for these amazing photos!

Hugs,

SK
