r W a r r i o r . N e t May 16th, 2009, Summer Thunderstorm |
 |
| One of the first good thunderstorms this summer in what would become an active summer locally for storms. This, like many of my storm intercepts this season was local enough to not even be considered a chase. This was also one of the last times I would have to use the convertible for going out to see storms. The photos were taken from atop the Shady Grove Metro parking garage. I don't shoot much from this location anymore because during the week it is now gated as a paid garage rather than a metered system. However on the weekends, or if I feel like parking in the Kiss-N-Ride area, and walking over to the garage I can still use this spot. As you can see, it is a great spot as one of the only unobstructed views in the northern half of Rockville. Like many of the storms that approach from the northwest, this system had a great shelf cloud, although not completely visable in the photos.
