This is the cloud that started it all in Butte County as it came
overhead Saturday, June 21st. It was a Hot, very clear and bright day. The 5th
pic shows the contrast as it came in over about a 30 minute period
before things started lighting up. Keep in mind that when these cloud pics were
taken, It was 94 degrees and at one point we had hail hitting the ground.
