    Pictures of my night on the lake with hurricane Jeanne.

    I just got power back on the other day and so just now got the chance to work on my pictures of that night. I thought I'd share a few of them. I thought some might like to see what happens to a very small normally calm lake during a hurricane.

    That night as the strom was starting to build up winds. Sorry they are a little dark, but it was night in pouring down rain.





    Early morning we saw this come down.


    A little after the eye was over, the small lake seem to become a ocean.




    The whole thing was scary and amazing at the same time. I see now how some people can trun into storm chasers, there was just something about it all that makes you want to watch. I was also told that on the other side of the lake the water just dried up.

    After all was done and over we left to come home to more damage, but that's another whole story.

    OMG!! That is so scary!

    I'm glad you're all OK! With winds and water like that, it could very easily gone another way.

    WOW!

    I know how you feel. We didn't get hit as hard as you but I couldn't help but watch the whole thing from our front porch. It surely is amazing and scary.. there's nothing more to describe it.

    Libby, where were you? Were you staying at your own home or somewhere else?

    These pictures resemble an ocean!!!!! Wow!!!!!

    I'm just so glad you're ok and there was no more loss of life for you or your family. I did hate to see the damage done to your property, though, in the other post.

    Those photos are incredibly beautiful. I know it's a dangerous situation, and, I'm glad you're ok. But, I agree with you in that I can totally see why people chase storms. Those pictures are mesmerizing to me, very powerful. Thank you for posting them.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Wow FoxGal! Those pictures are intense!

    And it's astounding how a little lake can have swells that big.

    I'm glad you're okay.
