Hi,
I'm not used to post about storms, but a friend of mine told me that there are many people interested in analyzing such kind of images.
The photos were taken on the highway from Córdoba to Seville, through Seville and until reaching 20 miles outside of Seville the gas station. The temperature changed from 36 centigrades Celsius to 15 within ten to fifteen minutes. Winds from 80 to 120 km/h where we passed, this is around 700 meters to the nearest point of the center of the storm. In fact the storm overturned us easily in a rotational movement twice, then followed us for about two hours easily.
This was on Monday, 13 of july 2008 / late afternoon. Never in its history, Seville had seen such a storm. Jerez, hours before, got completely flooded. The weird thing is that the storm came from the seaside (Atlantic basin), then rushed towards Jerez, flooded the city within 10 minutes, and then raced towards north until reaching Seville AND THEN RETURNED, a bit slower and weaker towards the coast.
Skies are changing over here in Spain, too. So maybe this information is of your interest.
On behalf of the shots, please take into account that I raised light. The real environment presented a 30% to 50%, maybe more on some moments of darkness.
