Thunderstorm - June 13, 2006


For a couple hours on the night of June 13, thunderstorms rolled through Glacier creating a spectacle of light and sound. It is always a treat to observe storms in Glacier, though danger exists in exposed areas. Visitors should exercise safety during thunderstorms.

Lightning dances across the sky over Belton Hills, silhouetting trees in the headquarters area. Onlookers retreated to the comfort of the homes when the wind howled and copious amounts of water and dime-sized hail fell from above.
