Lightning Over The Lake

It took nearly 200 photos, a lot of patience waiting for the storm and convincing myself that is wasn't done yet as the wind stopped and lightning flashes became very infrequent but here is the results:

North Dakota Perfect Tornado Yesterday

The footage of this tornado is amazing, lucky no one was killed but ABC news reports 9 injured as this tornado destroyed an oil camp in North Dakota May 26, 2014

Language and stupidity warning!

Dangerous Situation! #WednesdayNight

Extreme Southern Saskatchewan, including Assiniboine, Weyburn and Estevan Regions and All of Eastern Montana!

PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR STORMS ON WEDNESDAY

Severe weather models are pointing to a major system exploding with tornadic supercells over western Montana Wednesday afternoon and moving into extreme southern Saskatchewan into the evening. These damaging storms will move into southern Manitoba and south eastern Saskatchewan on Thursday, making this a 2 day severe weather event. If in these areas, make plans now for strong storms and possible tornadoes, power outages, flash flooding, large hail and damaging winds.

Here are some of the images of the latest forecast models, GFS and NAM, both seeming to suggest a lot of mixing with tons of wind shear, maximum ehi index and supercell composites, rain/precip just to the north. City of Regina could see flash flooding overnight with power outages all night Wednesday into Thursday.
