Skywatch Friday – Morning Run

I went for a run earlier this week. I could tell it might be a good Skywatch opportunity coming up.

I wasn’t getting a whole lot of running done. Then things changed quickly.

There was only a few seconds difference between the above photograph and the one below (and some magnification)

Then the colors started fading away quickly

Thirty minutes later, no trace of the colors. But hey, the moon is still up over my favorite tree.

If I’d have stayed in bed I would have missed the show.

Skywatch Friday – Before All Hell Broke Loose

I usually go run on Wednesday evenings. Weather was coming in and I decided to put in a few miles on the Arkansas River trails. I thought it was just going to rain. Once I started running it got very overcast and dark so I cut my run short so as not to get caught in a storm.

Before I made the 20 minute drive home the tornado sirens came on. We had several storm systems blow through the area. I don’t think any tornadoes touchded down but my wife had our safe room cleared out and put the kid and the dogs and cats in it. We had a fun two hours waiting for all the weather to clear.
