I was once riding a highway at night, and there was a lightning storm preceding me; fortunately it was 'running away' as fast as I was driving. But I found it strangely exhilirating- I can see why some people become storm chasers.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Beeeeeeyouuuuuuuuuuu tiful pic puzz! b/c Florida is so flat it's easier to see and experience the immensity of the weather. I once stopped the car on a major highway, when I was travelling down south- just to look at the stars- Milky Way was a wide speckled banner cross the sky. Can't believe a trooper didn't stop and give this Yankee a ticket- maybe he was stargazing too!

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Well the thing is puzz; I find those southern cops are liable to stop a Yankee gal for just about anything short of jaywalking. So I was lucky I wasn't stopped on a major superhighway. Stars look very close in the Appalachians too, puzz. Like you could reach out and grab them by the hand. Elevation 5-6000 feet, depending on the peak. Once saw a bucket full of shooting stars out there. And I love the blue hills.
