I'm at OKC right now for a couple of days. This little critter passed by my daughter's house yesterday evening:

Some parts of the city received 5" hail. Yes, that's FIVE INCH HAIL! We only got some small stuff here, thank God!

One thing about OKC, it's always exciting in the spring! :P

That's one scary looking rotating cloud! Things like that are wondrous, and exciting......until those 5-inch ice stones start dropping in around you like cannonballs :shock:

Hummingbirds must generate some amazingly powerful winds of their own........but more controlled and focused? Just a matter of scale I guess.

while i was cleaning up today i stopped and looked out the window, it just draws my attention the way it does, and across the way i saw a humming bird! ...it was just there. i was thinking how rare it was to see one when i was looking at your picture.
then it flew off and i wandered over to watching the bees go from flower to flower...crazy

i did get stuff done though in spite of all the drama :)
