Visually Impressive, But Non-Threatening

A non-severe storm on Thursday evening, April 21, 2016 did little more than rumble with thunder, but looked very impressive with a decent updraft. The storm was located to the west of the camera,
located in Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Because the center of low pressure was located over Iowa, this storm was actually receding to the west. The above image shows the top of the cell, accompanied by the sun at 4:07 pm CDT.

The cell had blossomed skyward and had nearly blotted out the sun in this image captured at 4:17 pm.

The above image is a three-photo panorama stitch, taken at 4:21 pm. All photos were shot with a #4 neutral density filter. Nikon 7200 DSLR camera.
