Busy past four days, Tornadoes and Northern Lights.

It’s been a crazy couple of days since Saturday with the tornado outbreak in Iowa and now this morning with the Auroras.

I’m busy processing all the image from this weekends tornado chase but I have the Aurora Borealis – Northern Lights photos that were featured on The Weather Channel and Weather Nation now on line now.

Here are a couple of images from Saturdays storm chase in Iowa.

The second image, yes I know it’s out of focus but I was trying to hold the tripod down in 40 mph winds as the inflow was screaming into the storm.

There’s a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we …know
Where it’s at… I got Two Tornadoes and a microphone…
