Afternoon thundershowers

Rain over Miami. When I lived in Miami, I noticed that it usually rained there at about 2:37pm each afternoon for about 21 minutes. Here's a photo of that daily storm taken from several miles offshore.....

Had several shots to work with. This version is an HDR combo of 2.

Haha! You're right about the afternoon showers. I lived in North Miami Beach before moving North to Hollywood, FL. Really missed the gorgeous cloud formations over Haulover Beach. Course, there were lot's of "moons" at this beach, too! hehe! Thanks also for your comments on my Shanghai pics. That's also one place not to be missed! - Mike

Famous movie quotes that crowd useful information out of my brain: "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a *God*, you say "YES"!

'fraid it's not true. Just lucky. Thanks, though.
