In Like a Lion

Yesterday, the month of March certainly lived up to its reputation for coming in like a lion. This is a picture of a funnel cloud that passed only a mile or two away from my house. I watched it form while standing on my back porch.

Now, I like weather that gets the adrenaline up (thunderstorms and the like), but when tornadoes that could kill people and destroy property begin dropping from the sky, that's where I draw the line. This really was quite scary.

Luckily, it never touched down though, and all was well. But I'm certainly hoping this month lives up to the other half of its reputation and goes out like a lamb.
