Alberto Pictures

[The Bug]

Just a place for those of us in Florida to post pictures...

I just took these minutes ago...before the downpour!

[twiztidcabbie]

Looks like some nasty weather was about to come through there. But, hey, you needed the rain. We could use some over here in Pensacola as well. I think from March 1 to now this year we've had 9 inches. From March 1 to now last year we had 40+(if the article I read was correct).

BTW...thanx for posting the pics.

Hopeing tonight gives us some good showers and maybe even tomorrow some good showers but it sure does appear to be breaking apart out there yuck.

Looks like a nice cluster of storms popped over P'cola just now, nice! I also see an outflow boundary heading northwest from there and now a thundershower popped over Mobile I was just told.

I was just in Pensacola yesterday and saw a bunch of clouds over Baldwin, but nothing between there and Crestview. Then I hit some sprinkles on and off until Live Oak, when I finally reached the outskirts of Alberto. I'll post some pics in a bit...

[twiztidcabbie]

yup...it's stormin' pretty good here right now. in fact if it keeps lightening like it is; i'm gonna unplug my modem for ahile since i'm the king of fried modems. :)

awesome pictures everyone!

[Alex]

Here's four images from my return drive to Tampa from Mobile/Pensacola yesterday. The first image looks at the outer edge of the Alberto cloud deck over the eastern horizon from U.S. 90 near Quincy. I snapped the second image along U.S. 90 east of Greenville after I decided I didn't feel like doing I-10 anymore. The clouds got extremely dark yet there was only one small squall through Madison. The third image was shot to the north as I drove near the hamlet of Lee along U.S. 90 near the Suwanee River. I love those distance rain shaft horizons.

The biggest amount of rain I encountered was in the Branford area where I saw light sheets of water come down. I turned south on U.S. 27-41 and it stopped, and portions of the sky opened up to reveal a spectacular post-sunset colour reflection on Alberto's high level outflow clouds. I stopped at the rural intersection of Marion County Road 326 and 225A near Ocala Park Ranch to shoot the image.

I'll post a couple of pics I took on the Courtney Campbell of the storm in a few...

[twiztidcabbie]

p.s. katie...apparently it's ok to have a link in your sig? just checking before i screw up

[Alex]

On the commute home tonight I took the Courtney Love Parkway (State Road 60) between Pinellas and Hillsborough and decided to stop on one of the frontage roads to take a few pics. The pics make the storm look worse, trust me, as it was actually quite nice with a warm breeze and just a few spritzs of water. The bay was quite choppy and some sea spray occasionally flew, but I've seen worse surf after a winter frontal passage.

I took one of the preverbial palm trees blowing in the wind shots looking east at Rocky Point, and one shot shows the Howard Johnson Bridge over the southern horizon.

[The Bug]

Twisted - yes...should be okay..if it is a problem...Rollie will let ya know.

AWESOME pictures!!

I'm so thankful I'm not the only one who gets the camera out for storms!

definately not the only one. though i do have to admit that it is rather newly found hobby of mine. my next project is to catch some good video of lightening.

[The Bug]

Alex has taken pictures of lightning....

I've tried..I still don't get it. There is a button my camera I am supose to be able to push to get it to take picture/picture/picture without having to wait...

I haven't figured it out yet.

Jenny,where are you in Florida?

[The Bug]

The GOM looks angry!

much worse than it was when I ws there on Saturday!!

[LSUtigers87]

Jenny, I love those pictures, wish I could do that!

[The Bug]

Here is the GOM on Saturday....this was Anna Maria Island...my friend Bobra and I.

We totally look like a couple in this picture - I'm short and I was trying to brush the hair out of my face but it looks like I'm holding her hand or something...

:)

Anyway...you can see the difference from the ones Jenny took and mine..

Yeah that is funny!! Are you sure you weren't holding her hand?
By the way, you had me fooled, I thought those were your lips on your avatar. They were turning me/blink/

I dont see why it would matter, both are nice and sexy anyways!!/woot

[NDG]

I do agree!!

[The Bug]

why do you think they aren't my lips?

just curious...I have a whole collection of pictures of me....

[NDG]

I can't tell they are your lips from looking at your couple picture, maybe because is not zoomed in.

[Hemorhage]

Some very cool and some hot pics!

Thank you all for posting your pics!
