Thunderstorms on Lake Hefner

After a few days of just posing as potential severe weather, the clouds in Oklahoma finally gathered enough momentum to actually rain on us last evening. The DH and I decided on a little adventure and tooled over to the lakeside restaurants to see if we could eat with views overlooking the weather. We were seated outside at Red Rock Canyon, and we watched the storm cross the lake (eventually chasing us inside where we finished our chicked while the rain pounded on the windows). Even though it wasn't a huge storm, it was fascinating to watch the colors change on the lake as the rain moved across the lake towards us, and how fast the waves whipped up as the winds blew in.

Not a bad way to end a day.
