Jig didnt work/frusterrated with blogger

Early today I did a post, went to post it and it said the was an unsuspected error and the blog was lost. I had only 15 minutes to get dressed trow some make up on and get out to door to get to work. Frustrating!
anyway, my jig failed and theere was no more rain, I shouldn't complain we did get a little over an inch of rain. I finely got a tripod not what i wanted but i only paid five dollars for at the thrift store. now i just need the camera fairy to come and upgrade my camera. I have out grown my little click and shoot one. I want to be able to shoot the night Sky's. In the summer we have some beautiful cloud to cloud lightning which many people call heat lightning because the lighting is so far away you cant here the thunder. Also dusk is my favorite time of the day and my camera just doesn't take night shots very well. I just cant fit the cost in my budget. Maybe i will hit the lotto sometime.lol
Well it looks like we have a good chance of rain tomorrow, no jig this time I don't want to jinx anything their is a slight chance for thunderstorms also.maybe i can get some good clouds shots tomorrow for Fridays sky watch. well i must be off to bed i will leave you with a cool sunset over my neighbor who lives right across the street from.

HAIL (3/4 inch or greater)

Hail can cause significant damage to your vehicle, break windows and damage roofs of homes and businesses.
Hail can cause significant bodily injuries such as broken bones and even blindness if wind blown.
Softball (4.5 inches) sized hail was reported in Lake Wales, Florida on March 30, 1996.
Haildrifts, up to four feet deep of dime to nickel sized hail, occurred in low-lying areas near Zephyrhills, Florida on January 29, 1997.
Hailstones the size of softballs can fall at speeds faster than 100 mph

supercell

Supercells derive their rotation through tilting of horizontal vorticity (an invisible horizontal vortex) caused by wind shear. Strong updrafts lift the air turning about a horizontal axis and cause this air to turn about a vertical axis. This forms the deep rotating updraft, the mesocyclone.
A cap or capping inversion is usually required to form a downdraft of sufficient strength. The cap puts an inverted (warm-above-cold) layer above a normal (cold-above-warm) boundary layer, and by preventing warm surface air from sinking too far, allows one or both of the following:
Air below the cap warms and/or becomes more moist
Air above the cap cools
This creates a warmer, moister layer below a cooler layer, which is increasingly unstable (because warm air is less dense and tends to rise). When the cap weakens or moves, explosive development follows.
In North America, supercells usually show up on Doppler radar as starting at a point or hook shape on the southwestern side, fanning out to the northeast. The heaviest precipitation is usually on the southwest side, ending abruptly short of the rain-free updraft base or main updraft (not visible to radar). The rear flank downdraft, or RFD, carries precipitation counterclockwise around the north and northwest side of the updraft base, producing a "hook echo" that indicates the presence of a mesocyclone.
