Wicked Storm

I have said it before, but I will say it again: I have NEVER seen storms like the storms in the Midwest.  Yes, I have seen huge snowstorms in New England and even a hurricane or two, but the thunderstorms here are incredible.  The sky looks like something you would see on Storm Chasers, and the Hand of God and His power is clearly demonstrated. 

On our way to Family Camp last week, we were in perfect view of this wicked storm, but we weren’t in it.  We actually only experienced wind from it while Des Moines was flooded with the sudden rain.  The wind and rain did a lot of damage, actually.  As we drove, we couldn’t get enough of the sky… it was just an awesome sight to see.  The pictures hardly show the stark contrast of colors or the mood they created as we wondered if we would get caught in it.  It certainly was WICKED!

Check out these pictures (taking from our van on the highway!).
