I was hoping to get some lightning but I missed out :(
It's hot and sticky now.

Sorry you missed out on the lightening, but it looks like you got a great shot of the end of the world...

Great Image!

it almost looks fake. I mean that in a good way. Was the sky really that clear beyond the clouds? Pretty cool photo.

Thank you all for the comments.

That was just how it looked to the human eye. Only processing was slight level adjustment (moved the midpoint to the right a bit) then brightened the foreground slightly.
It went from clear blue sky to this in about ten minutes!
This photo taken 2 minutes after the first photo, then the heavens opened.

The first shot is awesome. Makes us feel so insignificant to nature. Great work :)

I like the composition of the first shot, how the clouds seem to crowd out and impose its will on the town below. Thanks for sharing!

No problem. The cloud formation in the middle shot looks very similar.
From what I have seen Miami storms make ours look like a light shower.

yeah then it pissed down while i was on the roof doing work, bloody wind changed direction in like 1min and moved the clouds right overhead.

great shots mate
