Gulf Micro Storm - IMG_3591 - This is another view of the "micro storm" photo I shared a few months ago. I have never posted this view before, but I think it may show even better how unique this event really was. The Gulf of Mexico was like glass. Most of the sky was saturated blue. The dark clouds above us suddenly opened up releasing this waterfall rain shower from the sky. I am sure it was a once in a lifetime event.
