Where have you been, where are you going?

Ok a bunch of people have been calling me asking me what is up, am I still alive?  Where have I been since it has been a while since I updated my blog or even called anyone. 

It is hard to think that just one year ago I was seeing this.

It has been one crazy year since then.  In the last year I got the business rebuilt for the stock footage setup, did a ton of scuba diving, got a ton of sweet footage and met the woman of my dreams.  Which is why I have not been on line in the last month because I’ve been moving and now I am all moved out of the cities and in with Neva in St. Cloud.

I’m out of the cities and any thought of giving up my view that I had has been nullified since yesterday morning we were woken up by the weather radio alarm going off. 

A major storm was coming in and I went chasing.  I soon realized that living in St. Cloud has some real perks because now I am central to what is happening in the state of MN and best of all, I am already north of the metro when the auroras come back this fall.  Anyway, a major storm was coming so I left to go chase it at six in the morning. 

I got to the storm in what I thought was record time since I’m not living north and west of the cities and found that I can be on the storms ASAP now.

And what a storm it was for a early morning storm.  Here is the radar screen cap and my GPS position with the Green Arrow. 

The red box is off course the Tornado Warning that I’m driving right into.  It’s pretty hard not to see where the hook on this storm is located.

And this was what I was seeing that wrapped from around the whole storm from the Northeast side to the Southwest.  It looked pretty cool and I just wish I had a fish-eye for the still camera. 

The time-lapsed video that I shot of this looks pretty sweet and I will be getting that up on the stock video site as soon as I get caught up with rebuilding my office up in St. Cloud this weekend.

Back to unpacking.  My to do list is all about unpacking and getting back to business this weekend because towards the end of next week I will be hella busy with paparazzi stuff.
