Default Ugly Sunset

Had a heck of a storm last night. My place unscathed. Hunting partner saw considerable wind hail damage. He’s not a happy camper

The 19th Century Romantic painters would have thought that sky beautiful. My guess is they didn’t own property. Still, nature is awe inspiring.

My wife calls that a "Hell Sky"! That is impressive, indeed!

My hunting partner agrees. 1700 vehicle claims for hail damage and 300 properties with hail and wind damage claims. I had no idea how bad it was only 10 miles away.

That photo should be viewed with one of the good covers of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" playing in the background.

Here is a similar art image by Anatole Klapouch.

Hopefully it is not the kind of weather that blows away doves and ruins the opening day of dove season.

What great pictures. Thanks guys for sharing.
It’s funny you mention the song Ghost riders to go along with these pictures. These photos remind me so much of the storm clouds I remember along the US/Mexican border when I was a kid growing up in Douglas AZ.
A neat bit of history about the composer of this song.
Stan Jones stated that he had been told the story when he was 12 years old by an old Native American who resided north-east of the Douglas, Arizona border town, a few miles behind D Hill, north of Agua Prieta, Sonora. The Native Americans, possibly Apache, who lived within Cochise County, believed that when souls vacate their physical bodies, they reside as spirits in the sky, resembling ghost riders. He related this story to Wayne Hester, a boyhood friend (later owner of the Douglas Cable Company). As both boys were looking at the clouds, Stan shared what the old Native American had told him, looking in amazement as the cloudy shapes were identified as the "ghost riders" that years later, would be transposed into lyrics.

This may not be the most well known version , but it’s a very early one sung by Gene Autry. It must be one of the earliest Music videos made.
