12/11/99: Dallas DynamiteAn upper-level low along with over-running creates some dramatic weather this day. At about 2:30 p.m. a friend and I watch the first storm from an art gallery where his work is being featured. Brilliant flashes of light fill the entire building, as if someone is using a close by flash camera. Tremendous claps of thunder swiftly respond and rain thickens to cloudburst intensity. Another highlight is about five-minutes worth of cloud-to-cloud lightning that erupts like a fireworks grand finale at about 9:00 p.m. as another storm approaches. Most of the storms that arise this day have far more rain than lightning; up to five inches are reported in some sections of the Dallas Metro area. Of note is the going away present that Mama Nature delivers to me between 12:30 a.m. - 1:45 a.m. on 12/18. This unpredicted storm occurs hours before my eight-day trip out of town and brings some dazzling flashes and beautiful lightning networks across the sky. |
