RAINING ON THE WAY HOME

Fort Worth, TX

We have had some major storms today. Quite a few tornados have touched down but not in my neighborhood. However, we are in for a long night of the same so we are not out of the woods yet. I took this shot on the way home from the Hilton Anatole in Dallas for an Agent's Convention. It took me almost 3 hours to get home due to the hard rain, flooded roads, high winds and major traffic. I got this shot while there was a little lull in the rain....drops on the windshield made for a cool effect with the lights in the Stockyards of Fort Worth.

Canon EOS 350D
1/25s f/4.0 at 30.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Glad to hear you are home safe Cindi. Hope all stays well throughout the rest of the storm. Great shot. Color saturation and reflections are wonderful.

Oh my gosh....what a good shot in a nasty rain storm Cindi. Be careful...so sorry to hear about the floods and winds. Hope it settles down and doesn't get any worse. Gotta say...it truly is weird weather everywhere it seems. Vote for shot and bravery.:-)

be careful, make sure the storm cellar is stocked with your favorite beverage, and put the camera down while driving in storms !!!
