Storms in Mississippi

The rains have finally begun here in Mississippi, and while the lakes remain low (it is summer after all) they are coming up. With these storms of course come clouds, and in many cases lightning, these can be worth photographing, but there is a good deal of risk/reward as far as lightning is concerned.

Here we see storm clouds building over Lake Sardis, essentially north of Oxford Mississippi.


And here we have lightning that struck just outside Oxford.
