Storm Clouds

With a storm approaching Wednesday afternoon, I drove straight to the parking lot at Mashes Sands, and rapidly unpacked my photo gear. I had time to take only two sets of bracketed images used to make the photos below. Then within the span of a minute, the wind increased to 40 miles/hour and I ran to the shelter of my car to avoid sand and rain blowing horizontally. Was I the cloud hunter or the hunted?
