Un-expected Thunder Storm over Lake Superior

Hello everyone!

There were blue skies and weather pushing 90 degrees on my way home from work on Friday night so I retreated to the basement of my non-air conditioned home to find some respite from the heat.  After 30 minutes of loafing on my couch, I heard the rumble of thunder outside and was amazed to see black clouds rolling over the horizon.

Never one to miss an opportunity for a photograph, I hopped in my truck and headed to the Lake Superior Shoreline.  Much to my dismay, it was already raining at my normal spot so I hopped on Highway 61 to get ahead of the storm.  I ended up at Stoney Point before it was dry enough to get my camera gear out - minutes after the shutter snapped, it was an absolute downpour.  Here's the image I got on this July 1st storm over Lake Superior.
