Do, Do, Do, Looking Out My Back Door

[robotech_master]

The back door of my work, that is.

About ten minutes ago we started hearing loud thunder booming. So a couple of us went out back to see some very close lightning strikes coming down. I ran back to get my phone in the hope of taking a dramatic picture, but rain started coming out of the north in sheets and chased me back in.

I took this photo out of a glass double-door airlock on the northwest corner of the building. You can't really see it well at this resolution, but the rain was coming down in clouds of rain, being blown practically horizontal out of the north.

I hear the weather radio going in the background now, and suspect it may not be too long before I'm told to take shelter in the interior of the building. (I'm not too worried in any case; it's sturdy cinder-block construction.) I suspect the worst of it is passing well to the north of us, though.
