It’s been a soggy few days in Houston, and more rain is expected today! When you have thunderstorms and flooding in your area, we would love to see photos! Here’s some of the stellar photos that have been sent in from the last few days.
Lightning Shots:
I am always so impressed by the stunning weather photography we get sent, but the most astounding photos are always the lightning photos! To capture lightning on your camera is either incredibly lucky, or you had a lot of patience and care! Regardless of how you shot them, we love to see it! Below you can see lightning in League City that was sent in by “WEEinthecity.” They said “The view was great and the blowing wind felt wonderful.”
Look how cool this damage photo is from Houston! Zelly in Champions East snapped this photo of a tree “wolverine sighting or lightning?” In the photo you can see the lightning scar, or Lichtenberg figure that was created by the millions of volts of electricity as it flowed down the trunk before being grounded in the earth. So cool! Did you know lightning is 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit
Gorgeous Cloud Structures:
It’s no secret the weather team loves to stare at the clouds and identify them, so it should come as no surprise one of our favorite post-storm coverage activities is looking at all of the cloud photos in Click2Pins after the event! Here’s some of our favorite photos we’ve seen the last few days!
Heather G took this photo of a gnarly shelf cloud in Garwood. Heather said it was a “very intimidating storm cloud approaching from the east in Columbus, TX.”
Check out this incredible photo sent in by Mirian Castillo in Kingwood! The cumulonimbus cloud looks like a small mushroom cloud.
Heavy Downpours:
We have seen so much rainfall lately! Over the last few days we’ve seen on average 2-4″ of rain, but some locations have seen even higher totals! At times, our rainfall rate is so high it feels like you’re in a tropical rainforest. Here’s a look at how a lot of our roads looked like this week.
Rainbow Photos:
What better way to end an article about stormy photos than by showing some rainbows! Rainbows are a wonder in nature, and it’s lucky if you see one! Here’s some of the most beautiful bows we saw this week.
A lot of folks in Conroe were extra lucky, there was a double rainbow spotted overhead!
Remember if you’re out and about and can safely send in a weather photo, we’d love to see it! Send it in to Click2Pins.
