What Weather! (And this is ordinary ... not hurricane weather!)

We get some weather here on the coast. I rode my bike out to the river this evening, and found this:

We do get broad blue skies -- huge blue skies, in fact. But in a few minutes, it can turn.
I took this shot a few days ago at the harbor. Look at the light!

Last night. We left Oriental in fine weather, sunshine, blue skies, white clouds. About two miles down the road at the church, we found this:

I tell you, I thought we were looking at a funnel cloud, twisting its little leg onto land, just down the road. Thankfully, that didn't happen -- just intimidating overhead billows.

I'm not sure which I love more, wide blue skies with a few wispy whites, or a twisted, churning greyness that you feel will crush you. Both are stunning, aren't they?
