Topsail Storms: Rain Bands
This is another shot from Topsail before Hurricane Florence ran us off. I love the soft brush of the rain over the ocean.
Topsail Storms: Out to Sea
We went back for our annual trip to Topsail only to have it cut short thanks to Hurricane Florence. However I was luck enough to get some shots before we had to go. This is one of my current favorites and I am thinking about making it a triptych for the wall.
Topsail Storms: Clouds Like Fire

Topsail Storms: The Wicked Shelf
While at Topsail we had a couple storms come through and over the coming weeks I will be posting shots from them.

I was almost giddy as I stood out taking pictures of it while the gust front blew through and then I scrambled for cover as the rain began coming down. Living in a hilly, forested state, it is so very rare to get a great view of a storm like this! Needless to say, I was a little excited.
