Close Encounters of the Mother Nature Kind

Close Encounters of the Mother Nature Kind

They say in Iowa, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes—it’ll change.” Yesterday proved that old saying true on my drive home from the day job. The sun was shining, winds were calm, and the humidity? Off the charts.

But then I noticed something shifting in the west—a dramatic line of clouds racing toward me at high speed. My phone buzzed with a warning: winds exceeding 70 mph were on the way. I reached my exit just in time, pulled over, and snapped a photo as the storm rolled in like a freight train.

A couple of minutes later, I captured the money shot—a powerful reminder of nature’s beauty and unpredictability. Thankfully, we’re safe, and life is settling back to normal after our close encounter of the Mother Nature kind.

Stay safe out there—and don’t forget to look up once in a while. You never know what’s headed your way.

“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.”
— Psalm 91:4–5
