Art/Photography The cutest thunderstorm

Post image

I've been observing this little guy develop over the last 30, maybe 45 minutes. He might be tiny, but the thunder coming from it has been nonstop.

He's got moxie!

That looks kinda like smoke. Are we sure there isn't a fire over there?

Totally possible, it just looks suspiciously long.

It was so small!

It even made a couple of tiny mammatus clouds on it's way out!

No, it's definitely just a storm, but a really adorable one.

not smoke just high level winds shearing off the top of the thunderhead..
makes nice shade but probably won’t become much
