Project 365 -- KWJams
- Thread starter KWJams
- Start date
June 4
After yard work all morning, I took a kitchen pass and went for a ride. But first off I wanted to go by and thank Montana Congressman Denny Rehberg who was hosting a barbecue as part of his campaign to run for the Senate.
A couple of years ago one of the most idiotic laws ever passed went into the books that outlawed the sale of dirt bikes intended for kids because there are parts of the dirt bikes that contain lead. Kids don't eat dirt bikes -- they ride them and Congressman Rehberg introduced a law too amend the lead laws. --> Kids Just Want to Ride Act to be Introduced - Motorcycle USA
Since I had a big expensive looking camera with a long lens, nobody questioned me when I maneuvered into a position where the media works from.

Severe weather warnings with baseball sized hail with tornado warnings was on store for us this evening. Lucky that the worst of it went north of us.
I caught a few pictures from my back deck looking to wards the prairie to the north of our house.
They are grainy and blurry cause I was struggling with my camera settings trying to find a setting that would capture the pitch black of the storm cell along with the flashes of lightening. I had to lighten the second picture up quite a bit to show some contrast.

Pretty sure it was ---> Tornado spotted west of the Billings Airport; siren sounding in the Heights
We live in the Heights on the very north part of it. After the two houses behind us in the picture there is nothing but prairie all the way to Canada.
Not sure how close that was, but we feel very lucky.

Very ominous scenes Ken. Crazy weather throughout the States and Canada this year.
We were watching the skies since the sirens were going off and all the emergency alerts were being broadcast. But other than just a light sprinkle and a few gusty breezes, there was nothing. You can see the trees whipping around in front of the house directly behind ours in the lower right corner of the top picture. Yes it was a strange event for sure.

Very dramatic Ken. I love the shot, it looks like a funnel cloud to me. This looks very eerie to me and this is wonderful now send that weather to us so we can have some rain we need it too. Rick needs a really bad storm to chase and this weather you had would be the best for him. Keep up the great work and keep these photos coming, I can not wait to see what you come up with next!!!
