Thunderstorm coming.  I saw clouds like these in ground school, under the heading "Bad."  No flying for me.

A couple of minutes later, Life One clattered overhead, about 500 feet up, heading away from the hospital.  Cranked in a 40 degree crab angle to stay on course.  Weird to see.

Don't know where they were going but someone must have been desperate to justify sending them in this weather.  Thank You Lord that it wasn't me or mine.  

Brave pilots.  Hats off.

Indeed.
Caught a glimpse of one landing a scant mile away yesterday.
Not currently storming, T-storms had just recently passed through, but still fairly windy and ominous looking.
Some poor fellow, the first bullet to the head didn't work and he had to put in a second!
Heli crew has to put there life at risk for someone who doesn't want one.
Yeah, I am feeling freaked out just hearing about it.
