My books were in there, and I figure once they've already trained on it there's not much you can do Might as well get some money for it.

Being old, all of the 20xx years seem like the same decade to me, which is weird since I have very specific memories of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

We got on a #tornado-warned storm northeast of Decatur, Illinois today. It was really trying and had some impressive structure but we never saw it put down a tornado. We chased it east into Champaign, and it weakened and we called it a day. Nice first chase day of the trip. Travel day tom. #ilwx

Can't "like" this. Such a travesty and so sorry you're being subjected to this bullshit

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication! The SPC has always been great but has really been nailing it.

Worst #tsapre experience ever at 6am at Terminal 4 JFK. Almost an hour to get through, got marched down a flight of stairs and still had to take my shoes off.

Also the "current" generation seems to average out to be about 75 years old. Can't these _)*(_)* people retire?

I moved to Long Island City back in February, and have gone out to Gantry park every storm we had this year, but could not get a decent shot of #lightning hitting the Empire State Building. I was too lazy tonight to go out in the rain so I shot from inside, and finally got a shot!

Found a #snowyowl on Staten Island today. I found the location on my own, and when I stumbled onto the location there were about a dozen respectful bird watchers there. It only glanced in our direction a couple times when I got these shots with a 400mm lens and then a fair bit of post processing.

#snowyowl yesterday before sunset near Oak Beach jetty sitting on top of an empty Osprey (I think) nest. Mostly looking around but did rearrange some sticks in the nest. Flew off after dark. Shot with 1200mm lens from behind a row of trees 100 yards or so away. Stills: bsky.app/profile/jhun...
