We saw some great weather when we were flying back from Florida in the Seminole. These two shots are from Meridian, Mississippi. We were treated to some great southern hospitality, as well as to two great and very powerful storms. One storm moved in, and then about an hour later a second storm moved in. We were supposed to make it to Dallas that day (we had started in Jacksonville), but the weather prevented us from making an early departure from Meridian. We were on our way to Dallas when another weather alert came up and it advised us that there was a wall of thunderstorms between us and Dallas. Clint and I ended up diverting to Shreveport, Louisiana and spending the night there.
Here's a great shot of our plane that Clint took as the second storm was moving in at Meridian, Mississippi.
