Storm shots from a cold front

This past Friday, we had a cold front come through the area. With the cold front, we had some storms pop up and it produced a nice light show. I was able to get some video and pictures after it passed the house. Here are some of the still shots I was able to get. The first shot was a double rainbow I was able to catch when I first starting shooting.

We are having a strong cold front come through later on this week. The temperatures are going to be in the 60s for highs and 40s for lows. I’m hoping for storms so I can get more lightning shots.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Halloween week.

Storm Chasing Chronicles #3

Storm Chasing Chronicles #3 is up on YouTube. I finished editing the video last night and was able to upload it over night (yes my internet is that bad). I hope you enjoy the footage I was able to get. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven’t yet.

Thanks for watching. I greatly appreciate it. If you haven’t subscribed to my blog, please do so. I’m hoping to have Hurricane Laura coverage when she hits us Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Thanks for supporting me. I greatly appreciate it. Shalom.

I got my pictures back!!!...

In yesterday’s blog post, I mentioned I lost my pictures from a storm chase the night before. I found a program called PhotoRec - Recover Deleted or Lost Files In Linux (I’m on Linux Mint 20). I used the program to scan my whole external hard drive to no avail (I had the incorrect settings). When I got up this morning, I scanned my SD card used to take the pictures. The first scan came up with nothing (wrong settings again). When I used the correct settings, it worked. I got my pictures back. The program even found pictures from earlier this year. I’m so stoked. Now I can edit and share the best shots from Saturday night. I will share later this week (maybe today).

Thanks for all the support. It’s appreciated.

What a weekend...

Oh, where to start? Friday, I was getting ready for work. I adjusted my pants and my back seized up on me. I have been having problems for almost two weeks now with having spasms. This time, it locked up on me. I tried to sit down on my bed and ended up in the praying position, unable to move. My wife brought me an ice pack, and it helped enough so I could lie down on the floor. After being there for about 20 minutes, I was able to stand up and go to my chair. I have been fighting this ever since. I could maneuver around better on Saturday. I could make it out of bed a tad easier this morning without having to roll out like yesterday.

In the afternoon, we had a nice thunderstorm come through the area. I shot video footage of the storm cells coming in and once it passed; I followed it in my car. There was lots of lightning, so I spent over an hour taking storm shots. I made it home, transferred my pictures onto my external hard drive like I do. Got up today, and those images aren’t on my drive. I took some of the best lightning shots and they aren’t there. Poof. I’m trying to recover the pictures. I hoping this works. We shall see.

I was getting footage with my phone. Here is one of the best shots I got. At least I have something to share.

Caught with my phone

Sorry for the long post. This isn’t my norm, but I wanted to get it out there. Please subscribe to my website or to my YouTube channel, if you haven’t. I would appreciate it.

Lightning Compilation

I was going through my videos and noticed a lightning compilation one from last year when I went all over the area to chase storms. I forgot I had posted it on YouTube so here is the video.

These are some of the best lightning strikes I’ve gotten on video. I hope you enjoy the video with the music.

Have a good one and stay safe out there. Peace.

Storm Chasing Chronicles Part #2 is up

I was able to storm spot or chase from May 23rd to May 28th. The video below are highlights from each day. There was no way I could have put every lightning strike into one video without it being over 20 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it.
