We had a tornado warning at work this evening.

Thunderstorms were in the forecast originally.

A tornado warning was issued for Clarke County.

We gathered outside to check out the threatening skies.

Even though the skies looked pretty intense, there was no rain in our area yet.

Skies were mostly clear earlier in the evening.

The remains of that clearing could be seen off in the distance to the east.

I did what I usually do during a tornado warning and broke out the camera and started shooting.

My camera isn't happy in low light conditions.

I did the best I could do with what I had to work with.

This gave me good practice playing with the manual controls.

The pictures didn't turn out too bad.

Eventually, the rain stopped.

The tornado warning was lifted shortly thereafter.
