Just before the big storm hit in Manistee, is was sunny on the beach and huge ominous clouds lurked ahead. See the Manistee link for what happened next.

Michigan sunsets are a spectacular show of beauty. This sunset was later in the day, at the beach in Manistee after the storm from my previous two posts.

Here’s another photo of the storm that sprouted water spouts, as it roared on shore in Manistee.

Water spouts over Lake Michigan were seen nearby right about the same time I took this photo. We ran up a flight of 80 stairs into our friends’ beach house on a 100′ bluff overlooking the lake. The storm hit right after we got inside. This is the second time I’ve seen a storm like this in the Manistee beach area.
