I was outside letting my dogs in around 7:15 pm at my home near NW 12 and Independence here in OKC when I noticed a beautiful cloud (the first photo) and hurried inside to get my camera to photograph it. I noticed it felt like it would rain soon. I hurried and got my cloud, then ran to my front yard. As I got to my door, I heard the thunder. I took a few more cloud pictures. Then it started to rain a little. Before I knew it, it was hailing! The hail forced me inside, as it even came onto my porch, and I was only wearing shorts, so it stung when it hit me. After the hail stopped, (the second photo) I ran back outside to try and capture the rain, clouds, and lightning. I didn't capture any lightning, but I was able to capture the rain and clouds. (Third photo) The storm stopped producing anything to photograph around 8:15.
