Fireworks 09/14/2018


It's been a slow year but last night lucked into an incredible fireworks show.  Hosted by the National Fireworks Association (NFA), This was the end of their week-long convention to showcase many of the new fireworks.  Needless to say, it was incredible, with the majority of the show displaying new fireworks.  The finale was great but also lead to another show directly after.  We left a very packed park not long after the second show started already watching two very full hours of fireworks.  Here were some of my favorite photos.  Finale video is at the end.

lightning 07/13/2018

A simple cold front moved into the area destabilizing the atmosphere enough for some evening showers.  It was already Drench-your-shirt humid.  Luckily it rained most of the late night.

My oldest daughter and I did an ice cream run and found this wall cloud to the west of the city.



 We ran home, grabbed our cameras and went Northwest of the city.  Lots of active lightning at first, then it slowed down as the storm lost its punch.



 Same bolt, two frames.
