Brian had just come back from a short flight with his Piper Cub float plane last week, when he phoned Nancy from the beach.
"Got your camera? Then get a picture of that thunderhead over Lumina... But hurry."
Grabbing camera, and hurrying, the cloud was still changing, but still very impressive. It provided a wonderful background to a photo of Paul Tapley's memorial bronze statue of a red tail hawk. This work of art was created by Brenda Wainman Goulet, to celebrate Paul's love of flying.
Pilots learn very early never to fly into or close to one of these, so we were glad Brian was safely back on the ground before the storm cloud passed us by!
We get wonderful skies here, wonderful cloud formations -- but blessedly we are not in a hurricane zone, and only once have we had a tornado come anywhere close to us!
