Blinding sunshine and fluffy white clouds greet me in the morning. By afternoon, those same white billowing clouds roll into the harbor dark and ominous. Wind roars down the streets, trees sway and within moments cracks of thunder and peels of lighting scatter the sky. These storms are majestic, fierce, beautiful and terrifying at times.
