The tornado that slammed Joplin, MO on May 22, like the others around the country recently, has resulted in stunning first-person video accounts. With the popularity of video capability on smartphones (not to mention digital cameras) we are now not only seeing the damage closer than ever, but we are also seeing what it's like to wait for the storm, then experience it.
May 9, 2011 Everywhere I go I am finding that people are just flat out mad about the weather. If you can't find common ground with someone you will at least agree that the weather in Southern Idaho lately has been terrible. This weekend I saw everything from flip flops in the rain to full on snow suits...even our wardrobes are confused. I mean, I am wearing sandals, cut-offs, and a fleece sweater today. Makes no sence at all!
April 26, 2011 My husband and I are getting ready to go on an annual rafting trip, while we are both very excited to be on vacation we can't help but look outside and know that we just might freeze our tootsies off.
Brad Weiser likes to point out every year that we are crazy for camping and rafting at the end of April, and this year I think he might be right. Or I could just be getting older and wiser?
April 14, 2011 There was a major thunderstorm that raged through New York City on Tuesday night. The rain came pouring down and the thunder slammed loudly throughout the night.
A lot of dogs were hiding under beds, children were scared, and adults were pretending not to be. The storm was so crazy that New York's most famous landmark, The Empire State Building, was struck by lightning at least three times -- and even cooler than that, it was caught on video!
Watch it happen, along with nine more lightning-strike videos of famous buildings after the jump.
