No Filter. No Noise. Just the Sky.

I didn’t expect the sky to look like this.

📍 Captured in Northwest Arkansas — May 19.

It was still. Almost too still. That eerie green glow, the heavy clouds stacking in silence—you could feel the shift.

No thunder. No wind. Just a moment that made you stop.

So I did. And I reached for my camera.

These are the photos I captured before the warnings started rolling in.

Before the hail.

Before the flooding.

Before the radar lit up.
