Description
A storm closes in on Overholser Lake in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City area and surrounding towns have suffered many severe storms and tornadoes in the month of May, 2013.
When the sky became threatening again on Father's Day, I jumped in the car and drove to Overholser lake about 10 minutes from my house. I captured the beauty and majesty of this scene with my new little Sony RX100. A camera small enough to fit in a pocket, yet packing a powerful 20mp. This image was shot in RAW and developed in LR4 and CS6. I was fortunate to capture some egrets quickly escaping the storm. Oklahoma is the land of weather and sometimes incredible beauty to go along with the destruction.

Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Laurie! I saw it from my house, but couldn't get a decent shot. I drove about 3 1/2 miles to the lake and got the shot I wanted.

This is beautiful, Betty! vf. Frequently beautiful skies also mean frequent deadly storms. You Oklahomans must be an especially brave bunch!
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Byron! Later in the night we did have a storm and high winds. This one shown here skirted around us.
