Port Macquarie storm front

so its a day to go before we're due to come home, and i decide to rush over to the breakwater across from Port to try a pano shot from there. On the way over the car ferry, it starts raining a bit. No problems, I'm sure i read that the D300 had a bit of weather 'ruggedness' about it !
As the rain gets a bit heavier I decide to give up. The it clears. The lull before the storm. I must have rushed off about 40 pics in all shapes and sizes. The pano seems ok, but the other one seems too blue at the moment, and seeing as how its late at night and my laptop struggles with photoshop, it can wait till next week to redo . Any ideas on how to fix the blue shot. I think i dropped the exposure down in NX as it seemed bright, but my laptop screen probably isnt the best

Yes #2 seems very blue.
I really like the first though. Nothing beats being in the right place with your camera does it?
The storm sittng over the town is just great.
You could do lots of stuff to bring down the blue. Colour and hue adjustments etc.

Have you tried assuming the cloud front is grey & taking your WB from it?
Or are the buildings white?

they are both great, but I really like the first one.

it looks really powerful and i love the cool light coming from the middle.
