There is nothing more I would rather do then sit and watch storms go up over the Chesapeake Bay and a nice blanket of stars as the backdrop. As I talked about on my last post storm season has been slow but Wednesday night provided storms that reported having waterspouts and micro burst that sent a tractor trailer crashing into the rails and almost over the side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel near the second island. The first photo shows a lightning strike close to the tunnel and a microburst of wind and rain to the right side of the photo. No more then 5 mins after this shot was taken fire trucks and rescue squads were racing to the second island where the accident took place. I am pretty sure the downburst of rain and wind caught the driver off guard as these situations happen without warning sometimes. I hope for more opportunities at this location before the season ends. I hope everyone enjoys the 4th with family and friends and please be safe out there.
