As I was out and about running errands tonight, I noticed the clouds in the sky. They were beautiful. I saw a formation of clouds that I am not sure I have noticed before. They were stacked round and puffed, sort of like a cream puff. Or a buttermilk flake biscuit. Or a hamburger bun before the innards are added. Or a UFO saucer without the surrounding wing. Or a tall hockey puck, but with rounded edges. They were scattered at various places through out the sky. And they held their shape, which tells me there was not much upper level wind disturbance.
I love to watch the sky and the clouds. One of the most exciting things about living in West Texas is watching the weather move in. It sounds mundane, but it is so fun to me.
I love the electric energy of an electric storm. But I am smart enough to know that I need to be inside when an electric storm moves in. And the reality is, in West Texas, electric storms can quickly become severe weather with deadly lightning, damaging hail and destructive winds. So, while I find weather this kind of weather exhilarating, I have learned to respect its power and destructiveness.
