I prefer to sit back and watch a storm simmer, seethe and boil over than bask in the sunshine on a hot, summer day. There is nuance, subtlety and unpredictability hidden in those dark, brooding clouds. So much more so than a sunburn. "Hell breaking loose" is a common phrase referring to the unleashed power of a weather system, but a good storm requires a considerable amount of highly energized organization.
It takes many components and the right conditions to thrive. Take one of the elements away and the whole thing falls apart. Warmth, humidity, upper atmospheric disturbances and violent convections all must be present to sustain the life of a thunderstorm.
These numerous conditions have to work in conjunction to enable just one storm, yet there is an estimated 42,000 thunderstorms around the world every single day. Go figure.
Today's Jazz Hands deployment was a system of convecting, hot blooded energy.
Day one-hundred and seventy-one complete.
