The start of storm season

It’s storm season and our house is gearing up by stopping at a storm spotter meeting, purchasing some new equipment, and grabbing our 2015 road atlas. Here’s a little taste of the thunderstorm we enjoyed on March 21 taken with my new Canon Rebel T5. Not much from the storm itself other than some rain and a little lightning but it made for a beautiful sunset.
