Thursday Challenge—"storm"

Looking back as we approached JFK this past Monday
(8+ hours from very sunny Rome)—and coming
through that dense ceiling of clouds was one bumpy ride!
Welcome back to reality.

Skywatch Friday

Took this shot from my window Wednesday
night. We're still trying to clean up from
Hurricane Sandy and there are lots of people still
without heat and power.  Yo, Mother Nature!—did
we really need a snowy Nor'easter on top of all that?

Photo hunt — "dark"

"It was a dark and stormy night."

Actually, it really was.  We've been having some strange weather 

around here lately.  As if two tornadoes weren't enough, 

a couple of weeks ago I came out of the subway to find leaves 

and branches strewn everywhere—the aftermath of a torrential hailstorm,

with hailstones the size of eyeballs.  My building's super 

told me that every single car alarm on the block went off.  

Can't quite decide whether I'm grateful or disappointed that, 

once again, I was underground and missed the show.
