This quick-moving thunderstorm, the whiptail end of a string of small but strong thunderstorms that fired up over Texas this evening, skirted us to the northwest. When its edge passed over our house the wind picked up and got swirly and we saw those gnarly mammatus clouds almost directly overhead. The lower cloud structures moved one way and the upper parts moved another. Freaky. I ran in for the camera but by the time I got back out - less than a minute later - the wind had died and the clouds had already moved off.

Rites of early summer.
