I think we did. We are actually above average for moisture this year now, it’s been a wet summer. We had a crazy flooding day in August.

I was probably out there a week after you then. We drove out June 27 and spent some time at Boysen State Park then Grand Teton before going into Yellowstone. It was sooo cold overnight.

Map showing the quantity of lightning fatalities by state in 2025. North Carolina is highlighted with a number 1 in it.

Sad to report the first lightning fatality of 2025.

A corrections officer in North Carolina was struck by lightning while fishing.

Fishing is the activity with the most associated lightning fatalities in the United States.

When thunder roars, go indoors!

I used to think this was just an old wives tale but I’ve always followed it. We missed bath night last night because of the storms.

Said Buzzards with a Bald Eagle. I have never caught them hanging out before. The eagle has to work a lot harder to fly so it stood out from the Buzzards. The eagle is the top bird in the photo.

Some of the best storms out here aren’t violent.

Sometimes they just quietly glide across the prairie like the buzzards in the sky.

My neighbor rotates planting corn and soybeans every other year. This should be the year soybeans gets planted and they are beautiful in the field. I’m not sure what will happen now.
