Just point your cameras to the skies and shoot: Lubbock on August 14

August 14, 2013

With all the cameras around, if everybody just points their own camera to the skies and starts shooting, we’ll get some good shots.

Tonight the Texas Storm Chasers sent this one out:

Weather is cool.  Photos of weather are cool, too.

Good luck, and keep ’em coming, David!
