Isolated Storm

This is the true definition of an isolated thunderstorm. Emily took this picture whilst coming home tonight. The storm was sitting over south Phoenix, about 30 miles to the west. In the first shot you can just make out the rain coming out of the storm. There wasn't another cloud anywhere around it for miles.

This is a shot of the same storm from our back yard, minutes later. The top of the storm was already starting to get sheared I'm guessing my the upper level winds. Minutes after this the storm was scattered completely across the western sky.

Here's a quick picture of my clearance rose, I've managed to get a bloom out of it, albeit a small one.
