Description
This dramatic view of a afternoon storm over the city Sunday August 21, 2016 I was getting ready to leave the apartment when I heard thunder, I walked up to the window to see how close the storm was. I was preparing to leave to go to the neighborhood coffee shop and walked up to the window and I snapped a photo and did not realize I captured a lightning strike. My living room has two picture windows side by side. When I arrived at the coffee shop the barrister who lives in the neighborhood beyond downtown said she stepped out and actually saw a funnel cloud starting to form. She informed me it frighted her and she went back into the house. As I looked at my images and above the yellow building to the right their seems to be a cloud which looks like a funnel cloud she was referring too. As I noted the storm was not coming in my direction I left and went to the coffee shop and the barrister had arrived on her shift and she informed me. I told her I too watched the storm from my window. This photo taken manual settings with a 5 pixel smart phone. To the right of the center 50 story high rise could have been what the barrister was looking at prior to leaving and heading to the coffee shop. From my vantage point it appeared to be a rain shaft ascending down to the ground.

Greetings Jenny, thank you so much for viewing Lightning Strike Over Downtown Building In New Orleans, it pleases me this photo appeals to you and I appreciate very much your generous comment and concerned. Without question New Orleans had dogged the bullet in the devastating floods which occurred throughout the region. With the amount of rains which fell continuously over the same regions east, north, south and west New Orleans would have been flood in many low lying areas. Thank you for the l,f. Thank you for the compliment of my personal avatar one I used when I first became a member here at Fine Art America nearly five years ago. It is used as my professional business card, eye see Colors I have always used it from time to time. Cheers from Nawlins, Michael Hoard
