Watching an approaching storm

This system reminded me of a scene in Independence Day with the mothership approaching planet Earth. In a couple of pictures you might notice my two intrepid watchers. Jack took the opportunity to have a little meteorology lesson with James. I would have stayed longer to learn, but the bugs were killing me. Maybe next time. Nothing ended up happening directly over our house, so somewhere on its journey the storm must have taken a turn and blessed some other folks.
