Clear to Partly Thunderstorms

We were putting some wash out on the line today when the skies suddently opened up and we got us a nice gulley-washer of a storm. When it rains hard here like that, it rains hard, and I ran to get my camera. Although I missed the strongest part of the storm, you can still get a feel for it in this video.

You'll notice that part way through the video I pan to the sky. Why? Well, the part of the sky I was trying to shoot was nice and blue, even though it looks washed out and white in the video. Just another example of "China, Land of Contrasts".

Hope you've had a chance to check out my friend, mentor, and Congressional candidate Lew Katz' website. I am super-excited by this, and wish I could be back there to help him get elected. So, take my place and do what you can: vote, volunteer, contribute, spread the word. Every bit helps, every vote counts. Thanks.
